5.0 out of 5 stars Information on most types of electronic componenents., February 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Electronic Components: Selection and Application Guidelines (Hardcover)

This reference is an invaluable addition to any engineer's, professor's, or lab's library. It gives information on most every type of electronic components, and explains the difference between similar devices/types.

This is an excellent reference for types/values of resistors, capacitors, and transformers/inductors, as well as semiconductor components such as diodes, transistors, FETs, and ICs.

Every lab should have one of these books.
