Hacks of Electronics
Here are the basic electronics tutorial circuits for beginners. You can find here tutorials on operational amplifiers (opamp), transistor, MOSFETs, 555 timer IC, audio amplifiers and many more.
Capacitors are essential passive components used to store and release electrical energy. Among the many types, polarized capacitors hold a special place in electronics because they offer very high capacitance values in a small size something non-polarized capacitors cannot achieve. Polarized capacitors are widely used in DC power supplies, filters, audio circuits, SMPS, motor controllers, […]
If you want a compact, low-cost home media server that streams movies, TV shows, music, and photos to TVs, phones, and smart home devices, the Raspberry Pi 5 has become one of the best value-for-money platforms available. With its improved CPU performance, faster I/O capabilities, and support for NVMe storage, it stands out as a […]
The Light Emitting Diode (LED) is one of the most widely used electronic components today, found in everything from indicator lights to full-scale lighting systems. It is a type of diode that converts electrical energy into light energy, offering a highly efficient alternative to traditional bulbs. Unlike incandescent lamps that rely on heating a filament, […]
Electromechanical relay (EMR) is one of the oldest and still most widely used switching devices in electronics and electrical engineering. A relay is an electromechanical switching component that uses an electromagnet to mechanically operate a set of contacts. In simple words, a relay uses a small control signal (low power side) to switch large loads […]
A Solid-State Relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that performs the same function as an electromechanical relay (EMR) but without any moving parts. Instead of mechanical contacts, it uses semiconductor devices such as thyristors, Triacs, MOSFETs, or transistors to switch electrical loads ON or OFF. Because there are no moving parts, SSRs offer longer […]
This article explores various types of PCB materials, their composition, electrical and mechanical properties, advantages, disadvantages, and applications in different industries. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) form the backbone of almost every modern electronic device — from small gadgets to industrial machines and communication systems. The performance, durability, and reliability of a PCB depend largely on […]
