Encyclopedia of Electronic Components V3: Sensors for Location, Presence, Proximity, Orientation, Oscillation, Force, Load, Human Input, Liquid and ... Light, Heat, Sound, and Electricity: Volume 3

Comprehensive information on many electronic components.

I bought all three volumes at the same time (Yes, I am THAT keen!) and what a revelation they are. Charles Platts writing style is extremely lucid, and these encyclopaedias are well worth the investment. Just to mention: Charles Platt encourages personal interaction, supplying an email address in aid to help, advise and just say "Hello" (which is a bit like registering) - how many technical authors encourage that!

love all of his books, all very well put together. This is the 3rd in a set of 3, get them all!

Reading and learning and well explained, good value

Wish I had it sooner, it would have saved me time in repairing things

Good reference, getting a bit dated but still good.

Immaculate condition. Some of the best electronics references you will ever own!

Good but part 1and2 is needed

Ho acquistato tutti 3 i volumi dell' Encyclopedia of electronic components. Sono presenti praticamente tutti i componenti utilizzati solitamente nelle schede elettroniche, con immagini a colori, foto, componenti sezionati. Vengono spiegati i principi di funzionamento e i comuni utilizzi . Il libro è ideale sia per i principianti, per gli appassionati che vogliono capire come funziona un componente, ma anche per chi conosce già bene l'elettronica e vuole avere un riferimento a portata di mano. I libri si concentrano maggiormente sul funzionamento e utilizzo dei componenti, e non su calcoli e teorie di progettazione. È scritto in inglese facile, quindi va bene anche per chi non conosce bene la lingua. Le pagine sono abbastanza spesse , la qualità di stampa / risoluzione delle immagini è abbastanza buona.

Grey scale book. Not worth the money. Not mentioned in description or headers that is is grey scale book. Printing quality is also not good.

I already liked volume one of this series on electronic components. I read it through, I "swallowed" it. Volume two, the same. And now volume three, all about sensors. The information in this book is well presented - no "electronic Latin". Everything is explained properly, even to "electronics' newbies" like me. There are diagrams, drawings, that explain, how things work, and photos to see how things look like. As in volumes one and two they followed the same path: What is it? How does it work? What different types are there? What values are you likely to encounter? And my favourite: What can go wrong? As I said in my recension about volume 1: I had never before read through a whole encyclopedia in one go, but this one is really an eye-opener. I learned so much about electronics that I was able to take apart an old printer and identify all the components and knew how they worked. I can highly recommend this encyclopedia.

Imprescindible libro para todo amante de la electrónica. Es como la biblia de los componentes electrónicos. Este es el último de una serie de 3 libros hasta el momento

This series (Volumes 1-3) gives a good, clear introduction to electronic components and their application. It has enough detail to use components correctly without getting too bogged down in mathematical detail. The illustrations are clear and informative.
