  2. LED circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

    In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED. The voltage drop across a lit LED is approximately constant over a wide range of ...

  3. E series of preferred numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_series_of_preferred_numbers

    Two decades of E12 values, which would give resistor values of 1 Ω to 82 Ω. The E series is a system of preferred numbers (also called preferred values) derived for use in electronic components. It consists of the E3, E6, E12, E24, E48, E96 and E192 series, [1] where the number after the 'E' designates the quantity of logarithmic value "steps ...

  4. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

  5. RKM code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKM_code

    The RKM code, [1] also referred to as "letter and numeral code for resistance and capacitance values and tolerances ", [1] "letter and digit code for resistance and capacitance values and tolerances", [2][3] or informally as "R notation" [4][5][6][7][8][9] is a notation to specify resistor and capacitor values defined in the international ...

  6. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    Engineering tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation in: a physical dimension; a measured value or physical property of a material, manufactured object, system, or service; other measured values (such as temperature, humidity, etc.); in engineering and safety, a physical distance or space (tolerance), as in a truck (lorry ...

  7. Resistor ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor_ladder

    A resistor ladder is an electrical circuit made from repeating units of resistors, in specific configurations. An R–2R ladder configuration is a simple and inexpensive way to perform digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), using repetitive arrangements of precise resistor networks in a ladder -like configuration.

  8. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    LEDs are small, durable and need little power, so they are used in handheld devices such as flashlights. LED strobe lights or camera flashes operate at a safe, low voltage, instead of the 250+ volts commonly found in xenon flashlamp-based lighting.

  9. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) produce light (or infrared radiation) by the recombination of electrons and electron holes in a semiconductor, a process called "electroluminescence". The wavelength of the light produced depends on the energy band gap of the semiconductors used. Since these materials have a high index of refraction, [note 1] design ...
