Details

  • name: Name of the component
  • image: A photograph of the component. It works best at 225px width, for example [[File:RBG-LED.jpg|225px]]
  • caption: A brief caption for the image.
  • type: A general category for the component - similar to the heading in a supplier's catalogue.
  • working_principle: The physical phenomenon upon which the component is based.
  • invented: The name of the inventor of the first practical device, and the date.
  • first_produced: The date of first introduction to the market.
  • pins: List of the standard pin layout. Probably more useful for ICs.
  • symbol: The standard circuit symbol for the device. Major regional variations in symbols may be included.
  • symbol_caption: A brief caption that explains sections of the symbol. Optional.
