How to read electronics schematics

Last Updated on August 9, 2016 by Dave Farquhar

If you want to read electronics schematics, first you have to know what the symbols mean.

I found this link on electronics symbols this morning. It’s new to me.

I don’t know how many people actually try to read schematics and fix or build things anymore, but since it looks like I may be able to pick up a little extra cash by assembling electronic gizmos for train layouts and modding old video game systems, it’s useful to me, so I’m posting it.

If you found this post informative or helpful, please share it!

    I didn’t realize it was a British/UK page, until I noticed the different symbols for resistors and capacitors. Other than that small national/cultural difference, it is an extremely good reference, IMHO. Thanks for pointing it out.
