Details

• component: Name of the component
• photo: A photograph of the component. It works best at 225px width, for example [[File:RBG-LED.jpg|225px]]
• photo_caption: A brief caption for the image
• type: A general category for the component - similar to the heading in a supplier's catalogue
• working_principle: The physical phenomenon upon which the component is based
• invented: The name of the inventor of the first practical device, and the date
• first_produced: The date of first introduction to the market
• symbol: The standard circuit symbol for the device. Major regional variations in symbols may be included
• pins: List of the standard pin layout. Probably more useful for ICs
