NE555P
555 Type, Timer/Oscillator (Single) IC 100kHz 8-PDIP NE555 DIP-8 through hole The NE555P is a classic and widely used precision timer IC manufactured by companies like Texas Instruments and others. It belongs to the popular 555 timer family and is designed for generating accurate time delays, oscillations, and pulse signals. The “P” variant refers to the PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), making it ideal for through-hole mounting, breadboarding, and prototyping. NE555P PDIP-8 timer Internally, the NE555P consists of: Two comparators A flip-flop A discharge transistor A voltage divider network These blocks allow flexible configuration for timing and waveform generation. Key Features Timing & Operation Modes Monostable mode (one-shot pulse generation) Astable mode (continuous oscillator) Bistable mode (flip-flop operation) Electrical Characteristics Supply voltage range: 4.5V to 16V Output can source or sink up to 200 mA Adjustable duty cycle Performance High timing accuracy and stability Timing range from microseconds to hours (depends on external R and C) Temperature-stable operation Package & Usability 8-pin DIP (through-hole) package Easy to use for: Breadboards DIY electronics Educational projects Common Applications LED flashers and blinkers Pulse generation Time delay circuits PWM control (e.g., dimming LEDs, motor speed control) Tone/sound generation #Timer #commonpartslibrary... show more434 Uses
PJ-202A
Power Barrel Connector Jack 2.10mm ID (0.083"), 5.50mm OD (0.217") Through Hole, Right Angle The PJ-202A is a DC power jack connector (barrel jack) commonly used in electronic devices to provide a stable DC power input. It is designed for through-hole PCB mounting and supports a right-angle (horizontal) orientation, making it suitable for compact PCB layouts. This connector typically mates with a 2.0 mm center-pin DC plug and is widely used in consumer electronics, routers, embedded systems, and small power supply boards.
