About this item:

Want to know how to use an electronic component? This third book of a three-volume set includes key information on electronics parts for your projects--complete with photographs, schematics, and diagrams. You'll learn what each one does, how it works, why it's useful, and what variants exist. No matter how much you know about electronics, you'll find fascinating details you've never come across before. Perfect for teachers, hobbyists, engineers, and students of all ages, this reference puts reliable, fact-checked information right at your fingertips--whether you're refreshing your memory or exploring a component for the first time. Beginners will quickly grasp important concepts, and more experienced users will find the specific details their projects require. Volume 3 covers components for sensing the physical world, including light, sound, heat, motion, ambient, and electrical sensors. Unique: the first and only encyclopedia set on electronic components, distilled into three separate volumes Incredibly detailed: includes information distilled from hundreds of sources Easy to browse: parts are clearly organized by component type Authoritative: fact-checked by expert advisors to ensure that the information is both current and accurate Reliable: a more consistent source of information than online sources, product datasheets, and manufacturer's tutorials Instructive: each component description provides details about substitutions, common problems, and workarounds Comprehensive: Volume 1 covers power, electromagnetism, and discrete semi-conductors; Volume 2 includes integrated circuits, and light and sound sources; Volume 3 covers a range of sensing devices.

Great edition - get all 3! Great reference for general electronics

Its very simple

Great, double great and triple great!

I already liked volume one of this series on electronic components. I read it through, I "swallowed" it. Volume two, the same. And now volume three, all about sensors. The information in this book is well presented - no "electronic Latin". Everything is explained properly, even to "electronics' newbies" like me. There are diagrams, drawings, that explain, how things work, and photos to see how things look like. As in volumes one and two they followed the same path: What is it? How does it work? What different types are there? What values are you likely to encounter? And my favourite: What can go wrong? As I said in my recension about volume 1: I had never before read through a whole encyclopedia in one go, but this one is really an eye-opener. I learned so much about electronics that I was able to take apart an old printer and identify all the components and knew how they worked. I can highly recommend this encyclopedia.

Imprescindible
