Circuit Components Basics Book

Circuit Components Basics Book

Circuit Components Basics Book

(OP)
Hello!

I am a mechanical engineer working in intesive maintenance operation. I need recommendation for little/pocket/basic (all that means inexpensive!) book on elementary circuit components. I don't need design manual, theory. I need   basic explanation on physical construction, probable failures, failure modes, maintenance practice, rough planned replacement schedule and similar.

Does such book exist? That would be big help for me. Thank you in advance.

Is this Drazen Fabros?

RE: Circuit Components Basics Book

Don't laugh, but Radio Shack used to publish a great little basic book on electronic component applications. I have it still someplace, I'll look around for the title. It's not a "rocket science" book but it expains things well for the uninitiated. It tells you what diodes, thyristors, transistors and ICs are and how they are used etc.

Subvert the dominant paradigm... Think first, then act!
