Essential Electronics Components that you will need for creating projects!

hi they are some of you might not know this but up until this point I've been producing videos about electronics for about seven years and during that time I have created over 100 project videos and the one thing you will always need when it comes to creating electronics projects our components of which I've probably that wasn't laying around in different drawers and storage compartments over time I noticed though that having thousands of components is not that important since there's a group of electronics components that I would call essential which always probably make up around 80% of all my projects so due to popular demand from my viewers I will present you my choice for the essential electronics components that you should have lying around and of course you can find links to all the mentioned components in the video description but keep in mind that I will not be talking about tools like pliers wire strippers or for example soda since that would be a topic for another video now with that being said let's get started this video is sponsored by jl CPC beer from who are just received new PCBs that are actually ordered not even a week ago so feel free to try out there are some PCP service and fast delivery times today by uploading your Gerber files and get five PCBs for just two dollars before we talk about electronics components I would like to mention that shoving them all in one draw is not recommended since you can never find what you're looking for when you're in a hurry instead I recommend this wall-mounted component storage boxes of which I have plenty now granted they're not the cheapest option but they're super simple to mount the drawers can be divided and there to label which makes finding a specific component very easy with that being said let's start off with the most basic passive components resistors capacitors and inductors beginning whip resistors their main job is to limit the current flow and pull the certain parts of a circuit to a voltage potential which is why you should always have tons of 10 kilo ohm resistors but besides that I also highly recommend such a quarter Watts metal film resistor kits which basically comes with all the values you could possibly need for circuits and a quarter watts is plenty of for normal projects of course if you want to limit the current of a high power LED with them then you might run into problems but if you got a specific project in mind then you can always get yourself a specific power resistor fairly easy the only power resistors you should have lying around are one-on-ones because you can place them in Cu years to your loads and thus use them as a shunt to monitor the current that is flowing and last but not least for resistors since I'm also getting more and more into SMD circuits I recommend such a 1206 SMD resistors sample book in which you can quickly find the desired resistor value NT 1206 size is still pretty easy to solder up by hand next we got capacitors which are not only useful for creating RC time circuits but also act as energy reservoirs for decoupling purposes which is why 100 nano farad ceramic capacitors and 47 to 100 mukarat electrolytic capacitors are super important but it would be the best if you got one of those electrolytic and ceramic capacitor hits lying around just in case you want to build up a specific RC time circuits and once again for SMD circuits i recommend such a 1206 SMD capacitor book last but not least we got inductors which are mostly used as energy storage devices for switch mode power supplies auto build-up filters in the first case your choice of inductor truly depends on what kind of power supply you want to build and thus it is advice to search for specific ones when you know the details of your circuits but you should know that if you watch my video on how to choose the correct coil and by the way you can find all of my existing videos to the here mentioned components in the video description anyway for building up filters on the spot however I would recommend such a power inductor kits and with the basics out of the way let's move on to regulating the input power to projects for low current projects where you guards a high input voltage and either require the common five foods or twelve volts I would recommend either the lm7805 or the LM 7 8 12 which according to the data sheets are super simple to set up for bit more current demanding tasks however I would recommend the boost converter builder on TMT r-36o 8 to step up voltages or the buck converter but around the LM to 5 9 6 to step down voltages the next essential component is the operational amplifier or op amp which cannot only like the name implies amplify voltages but can also be used as for example a comparator for five full projects I always go work with the MCPS 6:02 which not only features two op amp stages but also comes with rail-to-rail outputs which means its outputs can swing almost completely up and down to the supply voltage limits for 12 full projects and beyond I mostly go with the LM 3 5 8 which is a pretty generic op amp that always works for me next we got the MOSFETs which are basically efficient electrical switches which can be used in switch mode power supplies or to basically switch things on and off I always go with the IRL zetz 44 n n-channel MOSFETs for low side switching or the IRF 5 305 p-channel MOSFETs for high side switching they both can handle high current and voltage values and are easy to drive with low level logic voltages and speaking of driving since it is always important to charge and discharge a MOSFET gate as quickly as possible I also recommend the TC 4 4 2 or MOSFET driver IC or if you want to drive more than one MOSFETs simultaneously then the TC year 4 4 to 8 ICU or its siblings are your best friends but let's say you want to build up a half bridge or full bridge with n-channel MOSFETs then I would recommend the iro 2 1 1 3 year driver IC since it comes with a bootstrapping feature next week at bjts which I pretty much only use when I want to build up a small transistor logic or do not want to waste a MOSFETs on a low current switching task that is where I either use the BCF 5 4 7 and PN BJT year or the BC year 5 5 7 p and P BJT depending on how the load is tied to the supply voltage next weeka diodes which are not only mandatory for switch mode power supplies but also for flyback purposes or for example reverse voltage protection for undemanding tasks I use the general-purpose 1 n 4 1 4 eights or if I need a faster Schottky diodes with a wall forward voltage drop then the 1 n 5 8 1 9 but if you get yourself such a kids then you should have all the diodes that you could ever need next we got the legendary a 555 timer which you cannot only use to generate triangle and square-y voltages but you can also use it as a D type flip-flop that is why I recommend having the TLC f5 f5 for demanding timing tasks and the ne555 for tasks where you needs a bit more output currents next I thought about what logic I sees I mostly use and I have to say that besides the HCF 401 3d type flip-flop i only often use the 7/4 HCO 1/4 hex inverting Schmitt trigger IC which like the name implies can basically invert a logic signal besides that I would always recommend having a couple of Padrino nanos line arounds since they're easy to set up and use in just a few minutes and there are thousands of applications for them and of course we should not forget about LEDs which are super handy yet to display certain conditions of our circuits or to be the main attraction of the circuit itself for that purpose I would recommend having such a kids with different 5 millimeter LEDs now those were basically all the electronics components but since there are also quite a few important components which are more in the realm of mechanical components for electronics I decided to include them as well such a fuse kits with decent fuse holder always guarantees no exploding circuits you should always have 50 kilo ohm potentiometer x' and/or 50 kilo ohm trimmers in order to create adjustable voltage inputs for my controller or to create adjustable timer circuits tektite switches are also great as inputs for microcontrollers and toggle switches are great as power switches screw terminals are essential for supplying power to a PCB and IC sockets make sure that you can easily replace broken Isis male and female headers are also useful to easily swap components and having a breadboard in combination with jumper wires and alligator clip wires for prototyping circuits actually goes without saying and those were basically all of my essential components but feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below about what components I missed as always thanks for watching don't forget to Like share subscribe and hit the notification bell stay creative and I will see you next time
