Basic parts

 

Resistor

A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component that resists an electric current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals.

Wire

 

LED

An LED (Light-Emitting Diode) is an electronic component that emits light when it receives a voltage in the correct polarity.

Potentiometer

A potentiometer is a three-terminal electronic component that functions as a variable resistor and can be used as an adjustable voltage divider.

RL

 

Integrated Circuits (IC)

ICs or Integrated Circuits are as the name suggests, circuits that are integrated into a miniaturized package. ICs are designed to preform everything that can be done with discrete component level circuits, and more, but are smaller faster and cheaper. ICs are everywhere and in everything from spaceships and nuclear weapons to annoying musical birthday cards.

Capacitors

A capacitor is an electronic component that can store energy and are often used to smooth and filter electric signals.

Ceramic Disk Capacitor

A capacitor is an electronic componet that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors. A ceramic capacitor is a capacitor constructed of alternating layers of metal and ceramic

Electrolyte Capacitor

A capacitor is an electronic componet that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors. An eletrolyitic capacitor is constructed from two conducting aluminum foils, one of which is coated with an insulating oxide layer, and a paper spacer soaked in electrolyte.

555 Timer

The 555 timer is an eight pin DIP chip. There are a number of different manufacturers but in most cases the number 555 is printed on the chip in some iteration. A partial list of manufacturers with the part numbers is at the bottom of the page.
