What I Know

Good day! As an aspiring technician, I know that you are excited to learn
new things and new ideas that will help you to understand more in the world of
electronics. Well, this module is fit for you to distinguish the different kinds of
technical drawings. Drawings and diagrams are common in this field therefore,
we prepared some exercises and practices that will help you to enhance your
ability in technical drawings.

Are you ready? Well, let us check your familiarity with the activities. The
result of this pre-assessment will determine your prior knowledge in different
technical drawings. Let’s start!

Activity 8.1: Guess the symbol!

Directions: Identify the following pictures of different electronic symbols.

Write only the answer on the answer sheet or in your activity
notebook

1 2 3 4 5

Accurate symbol identification is one of the essential skills that a

technician should have. It is necessary for troubleshooting or repairing some
components or circuits, that is why this module is made, to guide you in your
self-learning activities.

Before anything else, let’s test your memorization ability using short
activity below.
 What’s In

Let us determine how much you recognize some of the important

information in maintaining the measuring instrument. Take this test.

ACTIVITY 8.2: It’s T or F?

Direction: Read and analyze each statement below carefully. Write T if the
statement is TRUE otherwise F.

1. Measuring instruments in electronics are confined only to analog

TESTERS and sometimes DIGITAL MILLIMETER.

2. OHMMETER usually is a two-dimensional graph of one or more

electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of
time or some other voltage (horizontal axis).

3. 50VAC is where the function switch rested if an off position is not

available in the VOM.

4. VOM should be given a regular check-up by connecting it to the

power line.

5. OSCILLOSCOPE instrument serves as 3 measuring instruments in

one.

That was a bit challenging but very engaging, wasn’t it? Now that
you are already familiar with some ways to handle and to use the
measuring instruments, you can do better to some other activities as you
go along.
 What’s New

Hey there! I know that you cannot wait to unlock another

information that is why additional exercises are prepared for you to test
your eagerness. Are you ready?

Good job! You sure are a very promising junior technician

in your own right! Why don’t you challenge yourself
with some more tasks ahead?
 What is It

When you purchase a brand new appliance or equipment, a diagram

must be included with the product to ensure that there will be a reference
material in case the appliance or equipment becomes defective. Shown in
Fig. 1-1a is the schematic diagram of a 1-watt stereo audio amplifier, while
Fig. 1-1b is its pictorial diagram.

Fig. 1-1a. Schematic diagram of the 1-watt stereo amplifier.

 Fig. 1-1b. Pictorial diagram of the 1-watt stereo amplifier.

To produce a quality and marketable electronic diagram, you have

to follow the Electronic Drafting Standards which is the process of
illustrating various kinds of circuits and wiring systems.

The most common graphical languages used in the illustration of

components in circuits and wiring systems are block, schematic, wiring,
and pictorial diagrams.

Most symbols that you will encounter in laying out electronic

diagrams are accepted as standard, but in some cases, some
manufacturers modify symbols and practices to suit a particular
industrial policy while others use their symbols to represent unique or
special components and devices.

D o you know that electronic symbols and their use in conjunction

with recommended drafting practices have been developed
through the years, and have been standardized by a
number of different Institute (ANSI), the Electronics
Industries Association (IEA), the Institute of Electrical and
organizations? Among these are the American National
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International Electro
technical Commission?
 All electronic circuits from the simplest to the most complex design
need diagrams to be used as a reference in designing, modifying, and
troubleshooting the circuit. The most commonly used electronic diagrams
are schematic, pictorial, wiring, and block diagrams. Each one of these
diagrams has its unique characteristics in presenting the circuit. The
different diagrams that you should be familiar with are the following:

Pictorial diagram - It shows the pictures of the actual components

and wiring connections although it does not provide the exact size of
components. It shows the exact shape in proportion to the actual
component or device.

Pictorial Diagram of a Regulated Power Supply

Block Diagram – This form usually uses a block of squares,

rectangles, or triangles to represent components, groups of components,
or units of equivalent. Block diagrams are particularly used to represent
internal components of an integrated circuit.
 Schematic diagram - It shows the components used in their
interconnection. Each graphic symbol is also accompanied by a reference
designation to distinguish it from other similar symbols. It does not
illustrate the physical size, shape, or chassis location of the parts and
devices.

Schematic Diagram of a Regulated Power Supply

(power transformer is NOT shown)

Wiring diagram – It shows wiring connection in a simplified, easy

to follow manner. It may show either internal or external connections or
both and is usually drawn as simple as possible to trace out the
connection of a circuit. The components of the circuit are identified by
name or are represented using pictorial illustrations that do not follow any
well- defined standard form.

Drawing instruments and their uses

Drawing instruments are used in preparing accurate drawings.

Quality drawing instruments can produce accurate and good and
presentable drawings. Below is a list of some of the most commonly used
drawing instruments and materials in electronic drafting.

1. Drawing board. A smooth board usually rectangular in shape provided

with a perfectly straight edge which is used as a working edge on which
the T- square is moved while making drawings.

2. T-square. A T-square consists of two parts namely the stock and the
blade joined together at right angles to each other using screws. The
stock is made to slide along the working edge and the blade moves on
the drawing board. The working edge of a T-square is used to draw
parallel lines, vertical lines, or inclined lines at 30 or 60 degrees.
3. Drafting machine or drafter. In a drafting machine, the uses and
advantages of T-squares, scales, set squares, and protractors are
combined. One end of the drafter is clamped at the left top end of the
drawing board by a screw provided in the drafter.

4. Set squares. Set squares are generally made from a plastic material.
They are triangular with one corner, a triangle. A pair of set squares (30o-
60o) and 45o. They are used to draw lines at 30o, 60o, and 45o to the vertical
or horizontal.
5. Protractor. Protractors are used to mark or measure angles between 0 and
180o. They are semicircular and are made of plastic. Protractors with circular
shapes are capable of marking and measuring 0 to 360 o are also available in
the market.

6. Drawing pencils. The accuracy and appearance of a drawing depend on

the quality of the pencil used to make a drawing. The grade of a pencil lead is
marked on the pencil. HB denotes medium grade. An increase in hardness
is shown by the value put in front of H such as 2H, 3H, etc. Softer pencils are
marked as 2B, 3B, and 4B, etc. A pencil marked 3B is softer than 2B and
pencil marked 4B is softer than 3B and so on. The beginning of a drawing
may be made with H or 2H. For lettering and dimensioning, H or HB pencils
are used.

7. Compass. Compass is used for drawing circles and arcs of circles. The
compass has two legs hinged at one end. One of the legs has pointed needle
fitted at the lower end whereas the other end has provision for inserting pencil
lead.
8. Drawing pins and clips. These are used to fix the drawing sheet on the
drawing board.

9. Electronic templates include symbols for the electronic and electrical

design that can be traced using a drawing pencil.

Resistor

A resistor is a device with a known value of resistance. Its main function

is to reduce voltage and to limit the flow of current in a circuit. This resistance
is the opposition that a component or material offers to the flow of current.

Resistance may or may not be useful in circuit/s. When too much

current passes through a conductor, (solid, liquid, gas through which
electrons pass easily) the resistance of the conductor may cause it to become
hot. This, in turn, can create a fire hazard or cause the conductor to burn
out. In this case, it is not desirable. In other cases, when it is placed
intentionally in the circuit, it performs its specific task.
 Symbol of Resistor

Fixed Variable

Fixed Resistors

It is a single value resistance, which remains the same under normal

conditions.

The two common kinds of fixed resistors are carbon resistor and film-
type resistor.

Carbon Resistor Film Resistor

Variable Resistor

Variable resistors are used when it is necessary to change the amount

of resistance in a circuit. There are two common variable resistors,
potentiometer, and rheostat. Generally, a potentiometer has a carbon resistive
element while the rheostat is generally made of resistance wire.

Potentiometer Rheostat
 Both devices have a sliding arm that brings into contact with the
resistance element. In most variable resistors the arm is attached to the shaft
that can be adjusted Element changes.

A potentiometer is commonly used as a control device. It can be used

to vary the value of the voltage applied to a certain circuit such as in the
amplifier, television, and different kinds of meter circuit.

Resistor Power Rating

The power rating of resistors changes with their sizes, the bigger the
resistor the greater the wattages, and the smaller the resistor the lesser the
wattage. Different sizes of resistors are shown below which are drawn to the
exact proportion.

 A capacitor is a device that consists essentially of two conducting
surfaces separated by a dielectric material like air, paper, mica, ceramic,
glass, or Mylar. It makes it possible to store electric energy. Electrons are
detained within a capacitor. This, in effect, is stored electricity. It is known
as electrical potential or an electrostatic field. The electrostatic field holds
electrons. When the increase of electrons becomes great enough, the
electrical potentials are now ready to be discharged.

The component is designed intentionally to have a definite amount

of capacitance. This capacitance is a property that exists whenever
insulating material permits the storage of electricity. It is measured in
Farad (F) micro Farad (µF), nano Farad (nF), and pico Farad (pF).

Characteristics of Capacitor:

1. It can store electric charge even though the voltage source is already
disconnected.
2. It can discharge electrical voltages.
