The publisher, PROMPT Publications (www.hwsams.com) , February 12, 1997 Reference Shelf Must for Electronics Engineers, Technicians
The Component Identifier and Source Book was written for the electronics engineer, technician or electronics enthusiast who has to identify a component from a part number on a schematic diagram or locate a manufacturer from a logo. This book is a vital tool for anyone who wants to make the process of identifying and locating components easier and faster. This valuable guide will help you cross reference component types to manufacturers, and also contains sections that cross reference trade names, abbreviations, and part number prefixes to the manufacturer. Listings of worldwide manufacturing and sales office addresses are also provided, and there is also a special listing of manufacturers who provide replacement devices and vendors who specialize in stocking and locating discontinued devices. Sections in the Component Identifier and Source Book include: Logos for manufacturer identification Cross references of abbreviated manufacturer names to the proper manufacturer name Component prefixes and part number types for identifying parts from schematics and parts listings. Cross references to new manufacturers from mergers and acquisitions Nationwide manufacturer offices Worldwide addresses Product locator listing Manufacturers and distributors of obsolete parts And much more.

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.

A reference primarily for electronics engineers and technicians who are faced with selecting the proper component for a new design or as a replacement/repair part. For each type of device--resistor, capacitor, or relay--it tells the difference between each of the varieties of devices available and enables users to select the proper part for their application. Some background information on the origins of the components is also provided, as is data on current sales where available. Information on how to get schematic and repair data, where to find suppliers of parts, and where to find help in locating obsolete parts and manufacturers is also included. For engineers specifically involved in designing new equipment, there are details on national and international standards organizations and background on ISO 9000, which affects the European market.

Papers from the symposium deal with concepts, applications, and grinding and machining aspects in ceramic component design for manufacturability (DFM). Topics include probabalistic DFM, processing technology for advanced structural ceramics, rapid prototyping applied to industrial design of ceramics processing, superabrasives, and free abrasive machining for glasses and brittle ceramics. Contains b&w photos and diagrams. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

A selection of 16 of the symposium papers that deal with the manufacture, rather than the design, of ceramic components for a range of applications, among them sensors, thermistors, varistors, capacitors, transducers, optical fibers, and structural components for automobiles. They also include discussions of processing techniques, such as the application of organosilicon pre-SiC technology for rapid prototyping, eximer laser surface processing of alumina substrates, ultrasonic drilling and milling, and manufacturing ceramic composites with tailored properties.
