Do You Know The Common Component Symbols on Circuit Boards?

2023-04-11


Let's learn the common component symbols of PCB together!

R - resistance
FS - Fuse
RTH - Thermistor
CY - Y Capacitors: High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors, Safety Regulations
CX - X Capacitors: High Voltage Film Capacitors, Safety Regulations
D - Diode
C - Capacitance
Q - transistor
ZD - Zener Diode
T - Transformer
U - IC chip
J - Jumper
VR - Adjustable Resistor
W - Zener tube
K - switch class
Y - Crystal



PCB often see numbers such as R107, C118, Q102, D202, etc. In general, the first letter identifies the component category, such as R for resistance, C for capacitance, D for diode, Q for triode, etc.; the second It is a number, indicating the function number of the circuit, such as "1" for the main board circuit, "2" for the power supply circuit, etc., which is determined by the PCB designer; the third and fourth digits indicate that the component is of the same type on the PCB board . The serial number of the component .

R117: The resistor on the motherboard, the serial number is 17.
T101: Transformer on the motherboard.
SW102: switch
LED101: Light Emitting Diode
LAMP: (indicating) light
Q104(E,B,C): Transistor, E: Emitter, B: Base, C: Collector
