For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into ...

The new fabrication technique for all-2D transistors on flexible substrates offers a sustainable alternative, boosting ...

With a 4k1 collector resistor and 16mA drive into the led, the chosen (read ‘cheapest on ebay’) 6N135 is supposed to beat 1.5μs for both turn on and turn off, with typical figures of 90ns and 800ns.

Two tuners were developed for this receiver. The more sensitive one uses tetrode transistors in the RF amplifier, mixer and oscillator. Its disadvantages lie in a much higher cost and a 12 to 14 db ...

It ‘s worth noting that back EMF plays a critical role as a natural current limiter during normal motor operation. When motor ...
