Welcome to another exciting update on the amazing packages ACL has to offer! In our previous blog, we took you on a journey through the world of electronics. If you’ve been pondering where and how to procure the components for your electrifying electronic endeavors, look no further—ACL has your back!
Yes, that’s correct! Introducing the ACL General Electronics kit, a comprehensive package equipped with all the essential components to kickstart your electronics journey. In today’s piece, we will be discussing the various components in the kit.
ACL General Electronics
The kit contains the following components:
• 555 Timer
The 555 timer is a highly stable integrated circuit that actively generates accurate time delays and oscillations in circuits.
• Capacitors
The kit gives you five pieces of each type of capacitor we have. Capacitors actively store electrical energy in the form of an electrical charge.
• Resistors
Resistors play an active role in either limiting or regulating the flow of electric current in electrical circuits. The kit gives you 10 pieces of each type of resistor we have.
• Transistors
Transistors regulate the flow of electrical signals, whether in the form of current or voltage. They basically act as a switch and amplifier for these electrical signals. There are two pieces each of the BC547 and BC557 transistors in the kit.
• Jumper wires
Jumper wires actively serve as connecting wires or conductors, linking two or more points in an electrical circuit without the need for soldering. They are commonly utilized with breadboards to ensure the circuit can be easily modified as needed.
• Standard breadboard
Otherwise known as the solderless breadboard, it is a rectangular plastic board with a bunch of tiny holes in it. These holes let you easily insert electronic components to build semi-permanent prototypes of an electronic circuit.
• Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
The LDR detects the presence and absence of light and its intensity. It works based on the change in its resistance according to light intensity. For instance, its resistance decreases as the light intensity increases, and more current can flow through. In the dark and at low light levels, the resistance of an LDR is high, and little current can flow through it. There are 2 LDRs provided in the kit.
• Relay
Relays operate as electric switches by opening and closing circuits in response to electrical signals received from external sources. The relay provided in the kit is a 5V relay.
• Battery clip
The battery clip is a connector that is plugged onto a standard battery, and the other end is connected to any device that needs a battery connection or power source. The ACL kit contains four battery clips: two with a DC plug and two without.
• Diodes
Essentially, a diode functions as a one-way switch for current. It facilitates easy current flow in one direction while strongly inhibiting current from moving in the opposite direction. There are five 1N4001 silicone diodes provided in the kit.
• Buzzer
A buzzer serves as an audible alerting mechanism that converts signals into sound. The ACL kit contains two piezoelectric buzzers.
• LED
An LED emits lights when electric current flows through it. There are two pieces each of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue LEDs.
• Mini push buttons
A buzzer is a simple switch that, when pressed, either closes or opens an electrical circuit. The kit gives you five mini push buttons.
• 50k Potentiometer
The potentiometer functions as an instrument for measuring an unknown voltage by comparing it with a known voltage. The 50k ohm potentiometer offers a variable resistance up to 50k ohms.
