PRACTICAL ELECTRONICS HANDBOOK

Component data books are often little more than collections of specifications with little or nothing in the way of explanation or application and, in many cases, with so much information crammed into a small space that the user has difficulty in selecting what is needed. The cost of publishing paper data books, the rate that new products are being brought to market and the ease with which electronic copies of data sheets can be distributed by e-mail or downloaded from websites has begun to deter manufacturers from printing data books at all. This book, now in its sixth edition, has been extensively revised, with a large amount of new material added, to serve the needs of both the professional and the enthusiast. It combines data and explanations in a way that is not served by websites.
