15th Edition
Passive components
While most passive components are very reliable, reliability is just as important for the amateur as for the professional. To us, a breakdown may mean a frustrating search with inadequate instruments for the defective component. This can be especially trying when you have just built a published circuit and it does not work. Reliable components do tend to be expensive when bought new but may sometimes be bought at rallies if you know what to look for. The aim of this chapter is to give some guidance. If you test components before using, you save yourself from this troubleshooting.
