Electronic Components and Technology : Engineering Applications (n.e.of 2r.e.)

Providing an introduction to good engineering practice for electrical and electronic engineers, this is one of a series intended for first- and second-year undergraduate courses.

It deals with engineering practice in relation to important topics such as reliability and maintainability, heat management and parasitic electrical effects, environmental influences, testing and safety.

The coverage encompasses the properties, behaviour, fabrication and use of materials and components used in the fields of computing, digital systems, instrumentation and control.;The second edition has been revised extensively to reflect advances in technology, with new material on insulation-displacement jointing and electrical-safety testing.

A new chapter on instrumentation and measurement widens the scope of the text.
