The Most Essential Electrical Components and Their Specific Functions

  The world of electronic components or power supply products is massive. However, the most essential and the most commonly used ones can be put together in a shortlist and this list consists of:  Microcontroller  Transformer Fuse  Relays Battery  Circuit Breakers  Switches  Motors  As one of the leading power supply products suppliers , we thought of providing you with some of the basic knowledge of the most important electrical components, so that you have a better understanding while dealing with such electrical products.  The Essential Electrical Components  Electronic circuits are an amalgamation of various electronic components, which include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, inductors, and integrated circuits.  Resistors: Resistors are present in integrated circuits and it is used to resist the flow of current. They are categorized primarily based on their power ratings- the amount of power they can handle- and thei...

Principle of Push Button Switches: Basic Functioning And Structure

Push buttons are common- an electrical fixture we come across every day in medical equipment, automated production lines, even in communication equipment. Although it is a very simple component, since it controls the entire electrical control circuit, it is called a “control switch”.  Push button switches are simple power controlling switches that are usually made of metal or thermoplastic that allow easy access to the user. The idea here is to let the electricity flow uninterrupted through multiple wires, cables, and components. Pushbutton switches can be seen and used are primarily of two types, namely, momentary and non-momentary. Hence, they are widely used in kitchen appliances, magnetic locks, push-button telephones, and many other mechanical and electronic devices that find application in homes or industries. As a result, push buttons are designed in such a way that they have the space to accommodate a human finger so that the system can be easily controlled.  The Str...

4 Key Factors To Consider While Suspending Pendant Lights

  Pendant lights are wonderful. They add beauty, drama, the luxe factor and are aesthetically pleasing, no matter which room they are placed in. However, they must be hung at the correct height using lighting suspension kits or they may end up looking quite out of place- something we most definitely do not want to happen.  Although there’s no winning formula as to what height the pendant lights must be hung. Nonetheless, there are a couple of factors that must be considered.  The dimensions (scale) and the design (style) of the pendant light.  The height of the ceiling.  The room or space where it will be hung.  And finally, your own preferences  Along with these factors, there are a few more tricks that will help you achieve the correct height when suspending pendant lights.  4 Factors To Consider While Suspending Pendant Lights Factoring In The Dimensions and Designs of The Pendant Light  The two most primary factors that must be catered t...

Guide To Choosing The Right Lamp Socket Material For Your Lamp

Lamp sockets or lamp holders are available in various types. Depending on the size, shape, and material they are made from, they are categorized into different categories. These sockets are manufactured in a way that they are compatible with LED and compact fluorescent light bulbs.  This article will help you understand the various material of lamp sockets which will aid you to choose the right socket for your lamp.  Material of Lamp Sockets Lamp holders or lamp sockets are manufactured out of quite a few materials. The most commonly seen ones are brass lamp holders . However, some of the other ones are brass-plated, nickel-plated, bakelite or phenolic, and porcelain.  Lamp sockets contain two significant parts and each part is made out of different materials. For instance,  The Interior Screw Shells of a socket is made of aluminum or copper. While aluminum is the most common and cost-effective material for the interior of the socket, copper is often used as an alter...

Are Ceiling LED Lights Beneficial For Commercial Spaces?

  Lighting experts are huge fans of LED lighting, especially in commercial spaces. And why wouldn’t they be? After all, LED Lights are not only dependable, bright, and uniform but are also cost-effective and energy-efficient. They are sleek in design and are capable of seamlessly blending into the ceiling tiles. However, at times they are also put up to hang from the ceiling using ceiling attachment which creates a panel look of floating lights.  Therefore, when it comes to lighting commercial spaces, LED lights are always preferred over other types of lights as they enhance the interiors of the space and creates a formal yet perfect environment for both employees and visitors.  So, How is LED Lighting Beneficial For Commercial Spaces?  Well, we already know that LED lights save energy, last longer, and moreover creates the perfect amount of uniform illumination. Apart from these, here are some more advantages of using LED Lights in commercial spaces.  Superior...

Understanding How To Check Non-Wicking Characteristics for Wires and Cables

We as laymen all understand how essential it is to prevent moisture from coming in contact with fiber optics. Cable and rope wire manufacturers understand this all the more and hence execute water wicking tests of the yarn and thread during the process of manufacturing the same. This helps to analyze the wicking characteristic of the product so that it is not only time-saving but also cost-effective in the long run.  What is wicking?  Wicking of cables and rope wires refers to the exposure of the yarn or fibers to moisture and how it possesses the propensity to absorb liquids into each of the strands through capillary action.  So, what is the wicking test and how does it help?  When a copper wire is exposed to water, it deteriorates its performance and functionality. It not only reduces the signal but also emanates light waves along with producing impurities further resulting in oxidation. Moreover, the continuous contact with moisture withholds the moisture internal...

A Guide To Choosing The Right Switches, Dimmers, and Keypad Systems

  The lighting world is seeing advancement in every aspect. Innovations are constantly being done to light bulbs, suspension types, lighting accessories , and much more. Similarly, the world of lighting control has also evolved where technology has been incorporated in its functioning and usage. Electrical switches manufacturers have shifted their focus from the age-old toggle system switches to modern-day dimmers and keypads where there are a plethora of ways to turn the lights on and off.  Switches and More:  The toggle switches which were first introduced in 1916 have been in the market for decades. However, these are now being replaced by higher technological switches like the rocker which functions as a toggle switch but provides a broader surface for pushing on and off. Both these types of switches are instances of snap action control which breaks up the flow of electricity to the lighting fixture.  Electrical switches manufacturers have also developed occupa...
