Electronic engineering
contact protector
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component (such as a diode, capacitor, resistor, or combination of these) that serves to suppress contact arcing.
definite-purpose component
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component designed for a specific use, rather than for a wide range of possible applications (e.g., a video detector diode, as opposed to a general-purpose diode). Compare general-purpose ...
ceramic capacitor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component made with sheets of metal stacked alternately with wafers of ceramic. This material, like mica, has low loss, and therefore allows for high efficiency. For low values of capacitance, only ...
critical failure
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component or circuit failure that results in shutdown of a system, or a malfunction that results in improper operation.
critical component
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component or part that is especially important in the operation of a circuit or system.
ceramic piezoelement
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component that uses a piezoelectric ceramic material. Examples: ceramic filter, ceramic microphone, ceramic phono pickup, ceramic transducer, and electrostrictive transducer. Also called ...
air-cooled component
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A component, such as a power transistor, that is cooled by circulating air, compared with one cooled by a circulating liquid, such as water or oil.
