    Electronic symbols have been adopted from electrical symbols to represent components in electronic schematics. New symbols were also developed for components not found in electrical circuits, such as antennas and transistors. The document then describes some commonly used electronic symbols including those for batteries, capacitors, inductors, diodes, fuses, ground, and integrated circuits. Each symbol is given an alphanumeric code and components are rated by their electrical values, enabling schematics to identify and specify circuit elements.

    ELECTRONIC GRAPHIC SYMBOLS 19

    Despite this close tie between electronics and electrical power, it is still possible
    for an electrician or electrical contractor to perform his or her work without train-
    ing in electronics; however, that situation is fast changing, due in large part to
    deregulation of both the telephone and electrical power industries. A working
    knowledge of electronics is now considered to be an essential part of the training
    for electrical contractors and electricians as well as electrical equipment and main-
    tenance personnel.
    As discussed earlier, many of the original electrical symbols have been adopted by
    the electronics industry for use on electronic schematics. They include symbols for the
    battery, capacitor, earth ground, lamp, and transformer. However, a new set of spe-
    cialized radio (and later television) symbols had to be developed to represent compo-
    nents not found in electrical power circuits. These include antennas, cathode-ray tubes,
    headphones, speakers, radio-frequency coils, crystals, and receiving tubes. Later, new
    symbols were developed for thyratrons, magnetrons, klystrons, traveling-wave tubes,
    solar cells, transistors, and integrated circuits.
    Figure 1-5 illustrates some of the more commonly used electronic symbols that are
    likely to appear on schematics for the rectification, amplification, and control of power.
    Electronics schematics identify each symbol with an alphanumeric code and rating
    information near the symbol. For example, batteries are rated in volts, capacitors in
    microfarads, inductors in microhenries, and resistors in ohms.

    ■ Batteries: The multicell battery symbol shown in Fig. 1-5a is common to both elec-
    trical and electronic drawings. The symbol for a single cell (also called a battery) is
    more commonly found on electronic schematics. Batteries are identified on elec-
    tronic schematics as B1, B2, etc.
    ■ Capacitors: Electronic schematics distinguish between various types of capacitors,
    as shown in Fig. 1-5b. The symbol for the variable capacitor has an arrow through
    it, and the symbol for the electrolytic capacitor has a plus sign above it to indicate
    its polarization. Capacitors are identified on electronic schematics as C1, C2, etc.,
    and their values in microfarads (F) are usually given.
    ■ Inductors: Electronic schematics use the same symbols for windings, coils, or
    inductors as electrical schematics, as shown in Fig. 1-5c. Inductors are identified
    on electronic schematics as L1, L2, etc.
    ■ Diodes: The diode symbol in electronic schematics is an arrowhead pointing to the
    flow of conventional current, as shown in Fig. 1-5d. Electronic schematics include
    many different variations on this basic symbol to represent zener diodes, light-emitting
    diodes (LEDs), and thyristors. The outward-directed arrows on the LED symbol
    represent emitted light. Diodes on electrical schematics are identified as D1, D2,
    etc., but LEDs are identified as LED1, LED2, etc.
    ■ Fuses: The electronic symbol for a fuse is a sine-wave shape, as shown in Fig. 1-
    5e. Fuses are identified on electronic schematics as F1, F2, etc.
    ■ Ground: Electronic schematics use the same ground symbol as electrical schemat-
    ics, as shown in Fig. 1-5f.
    ■ Integrated circuits (ICs): The symbol for an integrated circuit is a rectangle with
    the projecting lines representing its pins, as shown in Fig. 1-5g. It is a pictorial
