We will cover the basic components, their characteristics, schematics symbols, uses, how to read them and how to test some of them. Types will include:

•   Passive Components such as: resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, relays, lamps and indicators, wire gauges & ratings, connectors etc.

•   Active Components such as: transistors, ICs, tubes, opto-couplers etc.

•   Assemblies and Modules, such as: displays, controllers, RF modules, etc.

•   Basic Testing of Components - Using DVM, LCR Meter and Transistor Testing Techniques

This Session will be hosted by Scott Theis, W2LW, with Karl Heinz Kremer, K5KHK assisting.
