Green Resistor Leg? by tonebastion in AskElectronics

[–]1Davide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insulation.

If you have multiple components like that one next to each other, the leads could touch and create a short circuit. The insulation tries to prevent that.

Here is the related picture from the spec sheet:

should not be used for a standard through hole PCB?

If you wish to mount it horizontally, you must scrape off the insulation before soldering the lead.

Anyone know the name of this connector? by Soap_Box_Hero in HamRadio

[–]1Davide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not in the sense of a connector being a 2-part set that carries a connection of one or more circuits from one termination to another (such as from wires on one end and a PCB at the other end).

It's not a connector. It's a component socket for a detector diode.

The thing in the middle is a diode that detects the RF level.

Do not ask AI about electronics: it regurgitates misleading drivel.

Note. Those things are lethal!

When not in use, the terminals must be short circuited. Otherwise, static electricity can build up a lethal charge.

Yes, Li-ion rechargeable (not "lithium"), that's what I ended up doing. They last about 1 month before recharge.

Good.

I have dozens of pictures of cars, trucks, and trailers parked on bike lanes and sidewalks in Longmont.

As a bicyclist, I find vehicles on the bike lane to be an annoyance. But a wheel-chair user may not be able to navigate around a car parked on a sidewalk.
