Eye Safety and Injury Prevention Month
October is Eye Safety and Injury Prevention Month. The observance reminds us to protect our eyes whether we are at home, on the job, or on the sports field or court. Studies show that more than half of eye injuries happen at home with the rest occurring while we are...
How Does Grounding Work?
The earth or the ground is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured. Grounding gives electricity an efficient way to return to the ground by way of the service panel. The electrical current flows from the panel to the device that...
The Purpose of Decoupling Capacitors
A decoupling capacitor is used to decouple or separate one part of an electrical circuit or network from another. The capacitor shunts the noise of the other circuit elements through the capacitor, thus reducing its effects on the rest of the network. A decoupling...
The Pros and Cons of Industrial Automation
Industrial automation involves the use of control systems together with other applications of information technology. The purpose of the process is to operate industrial machinery and perform other functions in a way that reduces the need for human intervention. In...
Key Components in Electric Cars
An electric car gets power from one or more electric motors that use electrical energy stored in the onboard batteries. Electric cars are a lot quieter than cars with internal combustion engines. They can be recharged with the use of low-emission power sources, making...
Lighten Your Load with Outsourcing

Benefits of Electronics Quality Testing
Traditionally, quality checks of electronic components used matrix controls that are difficult to implement in the point-of-care settings. Alternative procedures, such as electronic quality controls, were developed by manufacturers and approved for use by different...
The Evolution of Electronic Components
Electronic equipment is built by using many components that are interlinked to form circuits. Electronic equipment is subdivided into passive, electro-dynamic, and active components. In the beginning, electronic components were huge compared to today’s mini versions....
National Aviation Day: Electronics in Modern Fighter Jets
August 19 is designated as National Aviation Day. The holiday honors the history and development of aviation in the country. The celebration includes aviation pioneers such as the Wright Brothers. Aviation enthusiasts visit museums and displays to see different types...
The Benefits of Industrial Automation in Electronic Manufacturing
During the past few years, the electronics manufacturing industry has shown great interest in expanding the use of automation and robotics in factories, especially in regions where the cost of labor is very high. As the trend continues, we will see more integration of...
Should You Buy Surplus Electronic Components?
It’s silly to buy electronic parts in bulk when you only need a few components. If your order is modest, consider buying from surplus electronic distributors. Surplus electronic distributors are not by definition inferior to other distributors; they are usually...
