Component Identification - Resistors

Course Code: CID-I-R

Audience

One of a set of five interactive multimedia programs for electronic assembly operators and others, who deal with electronic components in their work.

Objectives

Participants successfully completing these programs will be able to:

• Identify resistors using physical characteristics and markings
• Match PCB and circuit diagram symbols to component types
• Recognize the correct units of measure for resistor values
• Identify the values of resistors by labeling or colour codes
• Describe the function of each resistor type and identify polarity requirements
• Match a Bill of Materials to the appropriate resistor
• Interpret common date codes and relate to shelf life requirements
• List handling precautions for resistors
• Identify packaging methods used to protect in shipping and handling
