Date：2023-06-28 15:05:50Views：234

In the field of electrical and electronic engineering, basic components are the core components of circuits, which have a significant impact on the performance, reliability, and stability of circuits. Component inspection skills are very important skills in the field of Electronic engineering. Mastering these skills can help electronic engineers better complete circuit design, maintenance and troubleshooting. Below will introduce some common inspection techniques for basic electrical and electronic components.

1. Resistance detection

Resistance is one of the most common components in a circuit, and resistance detection can be performed using a multimeter. When detecting resistance, it is necessary to adjust the resistance gear of the multimeter to the appropriate range, and then connect both ends of the resistance to the tested resistance. Read the resistance value on the multimeter. If the resistance value differs significantly from the theoretical value, it indicates that there may be a problem with the measured resistance.

2. Capacitance detection

A capacitor is a component in a circuit that stores electrical energy, and its detection can be carried out through a multimeter or capacitance tester. When detecting capacitance, it is necessary to adjust the capacitance gear of the tester to a suitable range, then connect both ends of the capacitor to the tester and read the capacitance value on the tester. If the capacitance value differs significantly from the theoretical value, it indicates that there may be a problem with the measured capacitance.

3. Diode detection

Diodes are one of the common semiconductor components in circuits, and their positive and negative poles can be detected using a multimeter. When detecting diodes, it is necessary to adjust the diode test gear of the multimeter to the appropriate range, then connect the positive and negative poles of the diode to the multimeter, and read the voltage value on the multimeter. If the voltage value is 0, it indicates that there may be a problem with the diode.

4. Transistor detection

Transistors are one of the common semiconductor components in circuits, and their detection can be carried out through a multimeter or tester. When detecting transistors, it is necessary to adjust the transistor test gear of the tester to the appropriate range, then connect the transistor to the tester and read the current value on the tester. If the current value differs significantly from the theoretical value, it indicates that there may be a problem with the transistor.

In addition to the basic component testing skills described above, electronic engineers also need to master the following skills:

1. Quickly locate the fault point

When the circuit fails, electronic engineers need to quickly locate the fault point for repair. When locating the fault point, you can gradually narrow the fault range by troubleshooting, or use oscilloscope and other test instruments to analyze the circuit to find the fault point.

2. Determine if there is a problem with the components

When conducting component testing, in addition to reading the values on the testing instrument, it is also necessary to determine whether the tested component has a problem based on the actual situation. For example, when testing resistance, if the resistance value differs significantly from the theoretical value, it may be due to aging or damage of the resistance, and further testing is needed.

3. Master the characteristics of common components

Electronic engineers need to master the characteristics of common components, so that they can select appropriate components when designing circuits. For example, when selecting a capacitor, it is necessary to consider factors such as the voltage capacity and frequency characteristics of the capacitor.

4. Learn new technologies and devices

With the continuous development of science and technology, the field of Electronic engineering is also changing. Therefore, electronic engineers need to constantly learn new technologies and new devices to adapt to the development of the industry.

In general, the detection skills of basic electrical and electronic components are one of the necessary skills for electronic engineers. In practical work, electronic engineers also need to flexibly use these skills in combination with the actual situation in order to better complete the design, maintenance and troubleshooting of circuits.
