hi they are some of you might not know
this but up until this point I've been
producing videos about electronics for
about seven years and during that time I
have created over 100 project videos and
the one thing you will always need when
it comes to creating electronics
projects our components of which I've
probably that wasn't laying around in
different drawers and storage
compartments over time I noticed though
that having thousands of components is
not that important since there's a group
of electronics components that I would
call essential which always probably
make up around 80% of all my projects so
due to popular demand from my viewers I
will present you my choice for the
essential electronics components that
you should have lying around and of
course you can find links to all the
mentioned components in the video
description but keep in mind that I will
not be talking about tools like pliers
wire strippers or for example soda since
that would be a topic for another video
now with that being said let's get
started this video is sponsored by jl
CPC beer from who are just received new
PCBs that are actually ordered not even
a week ago so feel free to try out there
are some PCP service and fast delivery
times today by uploading your Gerber
files and get five PCBs for just two
dollars before we talk about electronics
components I would like to mention that
shoving them all in one draw is not
recommended since you can never find
what you're looking for when you're in a
hurry instead I recommend this
wall-mounted component storage boxes of
which I have plenty now granted they're
not the cheapest option but they're
super simple to mount the drawers can be
divided and there
to label which makes finding a specific
component very easy with that being said
let's start off with the most basic
passive components resistors capacitors
and inductors beginning whip resistors
their main job is to limit the current
flow and pull the certain parts of a
circuit to a voltage potential which is
why you should always have tons of 10
kilo ohm resistors but besides that I
also highly recommend such a quarter
Watts metal film resistor kits which
basically comes with all the values you
could possibly need for circuits and a
quarter watts is plenty of for normal
projects of course if you want to limit
the current of a high power LED with
them then you might run into problems
but if you got a specific project in
mind then you can always get yourself a
specific power resistor fairly easy
the only power resistors you should have
lying around are one-on-ones because you
can place them in Cu years to your loads
and thus use them as a shunt to monitor
the current that is flowing and last but
not least for resistors since I'm also
getting more and more into SMD circuits
I recommend such a 1206 SMD resistors
sample book in which you can quickly
find the desired resistor value NT 1206
size is still pretty easy to solder up
by hand next we got capacitors which are
not only useful for creating RC time
circuits but also act as energy
reservoirs for decoupling purposes which
is why 100 nano farad ceramic capacitors
and 47 to 100 mukarat electrolytic
capacitors are super important but it
would be the best if you got one of
those electrolytic and ceramic capacitor
hits lying around just in case you want
to build up a specific RC time circuits
and once again for SMD circuits i
recommend such a 1206 SMD
capacitor book last but not least we got
inductors which are mostly used as
energy storage devices for switch mode
power supplies auto build-up filters in
the first case your choice of inductor
truly depends on what kind of power
supply you want to build and thus it is
advice to search for specific ones when
you know the details of your circuits
but you should know that if you watch my
video on how to choose the correct coil
and by the way you can find all of my
existing videos to the here mentioned
components in the video description
anyway for building up filters on the
spot however I would recommend such a
power inductor kits and with the basics
out of the way let's move on to
regulating the input power to projects
for low current projects where you
guards a high input voltage and either
require the common five foods or twelve
volts I would recommend either the
lm7805 or the LM 7 8 12 which according
to the data sheets are super simple to
set up for bit more current demanding
tasks however I would recommend the
boost converter builder on TMT r-36o 8
to step up voltages or the buck
converter but around the LM to 5 9 6 to
step down voltages the next essential
component is the operational amplifier
or op amp which cannot only like the
name implies amplify voltages but can
also be used as for example a comparator
for five full projects I always go work
with the MCPS 6:02 which not only
features two op amp stages but also
comes with rail-to-rail
outputs which means its outputs can
swing almost completely up and down to
the supply voltage limits for 12 full
projects and beyond I mostly go with the
LM 3 5 8 which is a pretty generic op
amp that always works for me
next we got the MOSFETs which are
basically efficient electrical switches
which can be used in switch mode power
supplies or to basically switch things
on and off I always go with the IRL zetz
44 n n-channel MOSFETs for low side
switching or the IRF 5 305 p-channel
MOSFETs for high side switching they
both can handle high current and voltage
values and are easy to drive with low
level logic voltages and speaking of
driving since it is always important to
charge and discharge a MOSFET gate as
quickly as possible
I also recommend the TC 4 4 2 or MOSFET
driver IC or if you want to drive more
than one MOSFETs simultaneously then the
TC year 4 4 to 8 ICU or its siblings are
your best friends but let's say you want
to build up a half bridge or full bridge
with n-channel MOSFETs then I would
recommend the iro 2 1 1 3 year driver IC
since it comes with a bootstrapping
feature next week at bjts which I pretty
much only use when I want to build up a
small transistor logic or do not want to
waste a MOSFETs on a low current
switching task that is where I either
use the BCF 5 4 7 and PN BJT year or the
BC year 5 5 7 p and P BJT
depending on how the load is tied to the
supply voltage
next weeka diodes which are not only
mandatory for switch mode power supplies
but also for flyback purposes or for
example reverse voltage protection for
undemanding tasks I use the
general-purpose 1 n 4 1 4 eights or if I
need a faster Schottky diodes with a
wall forward voltage drop then the 1 n 5
8 1 9 but if you get yourself such a
kids then you should have all the diodes
that you could ever need
next we got the legendary a 555 timer
which you cannot only use to generate
triangle and square-y voltages but you
can also use it as a D type flip-flop
that is why I recommend having the TLC
f5 f5 for demanding timing tasks and the
ne555 for tasks where you needs a bit
more output currents next I thought
about what logic I sees I mostly use and
I have to say that besides the HCF 401
3d type flip-flop i only often use the
7/4 HCO 1/4 hex inverting Schmitt
trigger IC which like the name implies
can basically invert a logic signal
besides that I would always recommend
having a couple of Padrino nanos line
arounds since they're easy to set up and
use in just a few minutes and there are
thousands of applications for them and
of course we should not forget about
LEDs which are super handy yet to
display certain conditions of our
circuits or to be the main attraction of
the circuit itself for that purpose I
would recommend having such a kids with
different 5 millimeter LEDs now those
were basically all the electronics
components but since there are also
quite a few important components which
are more in the realm of mechanical
components for electronics I decided to
include them as well such a fuse kits
with decent fuse holder always
guarantees no exploding circuits you
should always have 50 kilo ohm
potentiometer x' and/or 50 kilo ohm
trimmers in order to create adjustable
voltage inputs for my controller or to
create adjustable timer circuits tektite
switches are also great as inputs for
microcontrollers and toggle switches are
great as power switches screw terminals
are essential for supplying power to a
PCB and IC sockets make sure
that you can easily replace broken Isis
male and female headers are also useful
to easily swap components and having a
breadboard in combination with jumper
wires and alligator clip wires for
prototyping circuits actually goes
without saying and those were basically
all of my essential components but feel
free to share your thoughts in the
comment section below about what
components I missed as always thanks for
watching don't forget to Like share
