This second edition will provide data, information and guidelines for all of those who design, manufacture and use passive component systems and technologies in all categories of electronic systems. It will also be used by those who develop and market these components and component technologies. All types of passive components and technologies will be covered, including resistors, capacitors, transformers and inductive devices, relays and switches, batteries, fuses and protective components, filters, wiring and cabling, connectors, cooling and thermal management devices, and the electrostatic discharge protection for components.
From the Back Cover
The Definitive Technical Resource on Passive Components! Here's the fully updated and revised edition of the most comprehensive standard reference on electronic components--and the first such revision in over 15 years! It gives electronics engineers, designers, and technicians quick, reliable one-volume access to critical characteristic data, performance curves, and design guidelines. The full range of component technologies is covered, including resistors, capacitors, transformers, relays and switches, batteries, fuse and protective components, filters and transient voltage protection devices, wiring and cabling, connectors, and enabling devices. More than a mere rehashing of manufacturer specs, this unique handbook provides working electronics professionals and mechanical engineers with the practical data they need to more effectively select optimal components for their intended functional performance in virtually any electronics system. Along with its companion volume, the Active Electronic Component Handbook, this resource belongs on every designer's bookshelf.
