If you are reading this I assume you either just started using EL wire or you have a bunch of end pieces and like to know how to make use of them. Once you got a feeling about the lengths or wire you need for your level of skills you won't need to waste much material, right no...
The load puts the energy to use operating the remote control. If you were to simply connect a wire directly to each end of a battery with no load, the energy would quickly drain from the battery. While this is happening, the moving electrons also create a magnetic field. If you take ...
The breadboard lets you wire things together simply by plugging pieces of wire into connection holes on the board. All electronic gates need a source of electrical power. TTL gates use 5 volts for operation. The chips are fairly particular about this voltage, so we will want to use a clean...
Wire connectors (wire nuts) Step 1 Disassemble the lamp and remove the old wires:Unplug the lamp and remove the lampshade. Remove the cap on the wire connection housing—usually, this is a simple pop-off cap. Then, pop the outer shells off the bulb sockets, exposing the inner metal socke...
When you work on an electrical circuit, make all wire joints and connections inside an approved electrical box. There are several ways to join wires, but the best way is to use solderless connectors of either the crimp-on or screw-on wirenut kind. Never connect wires together in a behind...
How to reduce the risks associated with aluminum electrical wiring - a practical guide shows which aluminum wiriing connectors can be used successfully to connect aluminum conductor wires to copper-wired devices (such as lighting fixtures or fans) and to
Solder Seal Butt Connectors are stronger, waterproof, and easier to use than traditional crimp connectors.
Electronic Design: Push Wire Connectors Accept Both Solid and Stranded Wire Warning Use extreme caution when working with electricity. There are 3 basic types of electrical motors: DC, single phase AC and 3 phase AC. Switching the polarity of the input voltage will cause a simple DC motor to...
Connectors The connector on the engine control unit has more than 100 wires. Connectors are critical to today's cars. Without them, it would be nearly impossible to build or service a car. Whenever a bundle of wires passes through or attaches to a component of the car that might have to...
Basic surge protectors with line-conditioning use a fairly simple system. On its way to the power strip outlet, the hot wire passes through a toroidal choke coil. The choke is a just ring of magnetic material, wrapped with wire — a basic electromagnet. The ups and downs of the passing ...
