Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 3: Sensors for Location, Presence, Proximity, Orientation, Oscillation, Force, Load, Human Input, Liquid ... Light, Heat, Sound, and Electricity

If you are a beginner, a hobbyist, or just someone who is interested in learning about different electronic components, you will absolutely enjoy this series. In these very inexpensive volumes, you will find that they provide the most essential, and up to date information, as to what a particular component is, how it is used, and what to expect from it. Most importantly, these books are extremely easy to use and to understand. Are you tired of having to go to a computer or potable device each time you want to look up a component? I find it much easier to just thumb through the index for what I'm looking for, than to have to perform a search online for each component every time. I am confident that you will be amazed as to just how much useful information that there actually is for each component in these "encylopedias." This particular volume is number 3, and hopefully it is just another addition to many more to come. You don't need feel as though you have to buy all three of the volumes at once, or ever, but I'm a firm believer, that if you need something from one volume, I guarantee that you'll definitely need something from any of the others as well. I purchased volumes 1 & 2 at the same time, I just wish that volume 3 would had been available at the same time too; but I can appreciate that there is always new information being added. I highly recommend this series of encylopedias to anyone who is interested in the world of electronics technology!

Great general coverage of components with good outlines, history, and extra information on the various topics!

Very nice library to have for life for any one that deals with electronics . I always find myself picking it up for reference. Highly recommended.

I'm a basic techie at heart and love this series of reference books so much that I have ordered books 1-3 to complete my set. Each book is well written and contains the information I find helpful in my person "Techie" pursuits. Thanks to both Amazon and the Authors! Great Job!!

I have always had an interest in electronics and electrical engineering. This book and others that I have found will help solve my curiosity and build my knowledge.

Yes met my expectations. On the side note, everyone hates me and want to put me in jail for not sharing anything that i know. 😬. People really abuse power. So be careful out there.

Excellent product

These books cover a ton of information. None of it is lengthy but complete enough to provide a great understanding.

Ho acquistato tutti 3 i volumi dell' Encyclopedia of electronic components. Sono presenti praticamente tutti i componenti utilizzati solitamente nelle schede elettroniche, con immagini a colori, foto, componenti sezionati. Vengono spiegati i principi di funzionamento e i comuni utilizzi . Il libro è ideale sia per i principianti, per gli appassionati che vogliono capire come funziona un componente, ma anche per chi conosce già bene l'elettronica e vuole avere un riferimento a portata di mano. I libri si concentrano maggiormente sul funzionamento e utilizzo dei componenti, e non su calcoli e teorie di progettazione. È scritto in inglese facile, quindi va bene anche per chi non conosce bene la lingua. Le pagine sono abbastanza spesse , la qualità di stampa / risoluzione delle immagini è abbastanza buona.

Grey scale book. Not worth the money. Not mentioned in description or headers that is is grey scale book. Printing quality is also not good.

I already liked volume one of this series on electronic components. I read it through, I "swallowed" it. Volume two, the same. And now volume three, all about sensors. The information in this book is well presented - no "electronic Latin". Everything is explained properly, even to "electronics' newbies" like me. There are diagrams, drawings, that explain, how things work, and photos to see how things look like. As in volumes one and two they followed the same path: What is it? How does it work? What different types are there? What values are you likely to encounter? And my favourite: What can go wrong? As I said in my recension about volume 1: I had never before read through a whole encyclopedia in one go, but this one is really an eye-opener. I learned so much about electronics that I was able to take apart an old printer and identify all the components and knew how they worked. I can highly recommend this encyclopedia.

Imprescindible libro para todo amante de la electrónica. Es como la biblia de los componentes electrónicos. Este es el último de una serie de 3 libros hasta el momento

This series (Volumes 1-3) gives a good, clear introduction to electronic components and their application. It has enough detail to use components correctly without getting too bogged down in mathematical detail. The illustrations are clear and informative.
