Elektor Digital Consumer Electronics Repair, Reuse and Recycling (E-book)
A Combat Guide against E-waste and Throwawayism This book is for anyone who enjoys tinkering with analog and digital hardware electronics. Regardless of the sophistication of your workspace, only basic tools are required to achieve truly satisfying results. It is intended as a reference guide among other hardware repair publications you may have in your library. However, the book goes a step further than most other repair guides in addressing issues in the modern era of discarded electronics called e-waste. E-waste should be put to good use. Producing anything new requires not just precious resources and labor, but also energy to make and deliver it to global retail shelves. Your talents and love of electronics can be put to good use by rescuing and resurrecting at least selected units from this endless stream of e-waste. Examples include either restoring through repair, or salvaging reusable electronic and mechanical components for your next project. Smart tips are provided throughout the book, and much information is tabulated for easy reference. The book expands age-old repair and hacking techniques applied for repair on the workbench into clever methods and applications to achieve effective results with discarded or “non-servicable” electronic consumer products. The final chapter provides real-life examples using all of the previously discussed content in a summarized form for each example repair type.

Elektor Digital Introductie tot de Elektro-akoestiek (E-book)
Dit boek is bedoeld voor diegenen die zich bezig houden met geluidsversterking en geluidsdistributie. Het gaat in op de akoestische eigenschappen van open, halfopen en omsloten ruimten. Belangrijk is hoe luidsprekers aangepast kunnen worden op allerlei omgevingen. Meestal moet men een keuze maken uit het aanbod van luidsprekers en microfoons. De vraag is dan welke luidspreker en microfoon de juiste keuze zijn. En hoe deze moeten worden opgesteld waarbij spraak- en muziekverstaanbaarheid en de maximaal haalbare versterking in de live-situatie de belangrijkste criteria zijn. Dit boek geeft antwoord op die vragen. Verder wordt de lezer meegenomen naar het ontwerpen van luidsprekers op basis van de T/S parameters. Met eenvoudige software is het mogelijk akoestische en mechanische elementen van een luidspreker met de eventuele behuizing te vertalen naar de elektrische analogieën, zodat de luidspreker op de PC gesimuleerd kan worden. Aan de hand van rekenvoorbeelden worden bovenstaande simulaties ondersteund. Tot slot zijn in de referentielijst een aantal internetlinks opgenomen waaruit zeer waardevolle gegevens gehaald kunnen worden. De auteur, Peter Swarte, is natuurkundig ingenieur en was werkzaam bij Philips. Momenteel is hij_eigenaar van consultancy bureau P.A.S. Electro Acoustics en is hij actief lid van zowel het NAG (Nederlands Akoestisch Genootschap) als de AES (Audio Engineering Society).

Elektor Zener Diode Tester
The Elektor Zener Diode Tester is essentially a constant-current source that can be switched in steps from 1 to 50 mA. It can be used to test Z-diodes up to a maximum of 54 V. Thanks to a 60-V step-up converter, the device can be powered by the usual 5 to 12 V. The principle of this tester is straightforward. A Z-diode or other DUT (device under test, such as an LED) is biased by an adjustable current source. The voltage across the DUT can be measured with a multimeter. The voltage of most (small) Z-diodes is specified at a current of 5 mA. Depending on the application, the voltage at other currents can also be of interest. That is why six current settings are available: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 mA. LEDs are often specified at a current of 20 mA. What can be tested is: Whether a Z-diode is defective (short circuit or high impedance). Whether a Z-diode exhibits the correct Z-voltage. How a Z-voltage changes with different currents. What exact voltage is present at an integrated voltage reference. Whether LEDs in a series chain differ in brightness (hence the 20 mA current). What the current gain is for different base currents in (power) transistors. The kit contains all parts listed in the bill of materials including PCB and enclosure. Specifications Supply voltage 5…12 V/2 A (USB-C) Supply current (Itest = 50 mA) 1.1 A @ 5 V / 412 mA @ 12 V Selectable currents 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 mA Max. test voltage >54 V @ Itest ≥1 mA Max. output voltage 60 V @ Itest = 0 mA Voltage limit at 5 V 4.5 V @ Itest = 1 mA / 5.18 V @ Itest = 50 mA Enclosure dimensions 110 x 82 x 44 mm PCB size 105.4 x 67.3 mm Connections 4 mm banana sockets for multimeter 2 mm banana sockets for test clips USB-C socket for power supply Included Resistors R1 = 3.3 kΩ, 600 mW, 1% R2 = 0.15 Ω, 1 W, 5%, LS 12.7 mm, ø 3.5 mm R3, R8 = 180 Ω, 600 mW, 1% R4, R6, R16 = 1 kΩ, 600 mW, 1% R5, R19 = 47 kΩ, 600 mW, 1% R7 = 3.9 kΩ, 1 W, 5%, LS 12.7 mm, ø 3.5 mm R9, R10, R12 = 10 kΩ, 600 mW, 1% R11, R13 = 100 Ω, 600 mW 1% R14 = 249 Ω, 600 mW, 1% R15 = 499 Ω, 600 mW, 1% R17 = 2.49 kΩ, 250 mW, 1% R18 = 4.99 kΩ, 250 mW, 1% Capacitors C1 = 470 uF / 35 V, 20%, Ir = 1.86 A, ø 12.5 mm, LS 5 mm, ESR = 0.038 Ω (Panasonic EEUTP1V471) C2 = 1 uF / 100 V, 10%, X7R, LS 5 mm C3 = 2.2 nF / 50 V, 10%, X7R, LS 5 mm C4, C7 = 100 nF / 100 V, 10%, X7R, LS 5 mm C5 = 100 uF / 100 V, 20%, ø 14 mm max., LS 5 mm C6 = 1 nF / 100 V, 10%, X7R, LS 5 mm Inductor L1 = 100 uH, Irms = 2.4 A, Isat = 3.5 A, 0.09 Ω, radial, pitch 2.5/5/10 mm, ø 14 mm max.

Elektor Digital Verstärker in Röhrentechnik (E-book)
Selbst für so manchen an der Elektronik Interessierten ist die Röhrentechnologie ein technischer Anachronismus, Röhrenverstärkern könne doch allenfalls noch ein Ehrenplatz im Museum zugewiesen werden. Das ist einerseits durchaus richtig, Röhren haben eine fast hundertjährige Geschichte hinter sich. Seit der Erfindung des Transistors, der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt am 23.12.1947, war das Ende der Röhrenära eingeläutet. Von da ab sollte es immerhin noch mehr als zwanzig Jahre dauern, bis die Röhren – von Sonderanwendungen abgesehen – aus dem Blickfeld des durchschnittlichen Elektronikgeräte-Konsumenten weitgehend verschwunden waren. So gesehen, sind Röhren tatsächlich veraltet, haben Röhren Museumcharakter. Niemand käme wohl heute auch mehr ernsthaft auf die Idee, sein leistungsfähiges Digitalmessinstrument gegen ein Röhrenvoltmeter auszutauschen; hochintegrierte Halbleiterchips können nun einmal bei eigentlich unvergleichlich geringerem Platz- und Energiebedarf mehr. Auf die Überlegenheit moderner Mikroprozessoren in Bezug auf Rechengeschwindigkeit und Speicherkapazität braucht man eigentlich gar nicht zu verweisen. Der erste programmgesteuerte Elektronikrechner Eniac im Jahre 1945 wog rund 30 Tonnen, enthielt neben insgesamt etwa 500.000 übrigen Bauteilen 18.000 Elektronenröhren und füllte eine mittlere Halle. In einem Bereich allerdings, im Bereich der Audio-Signalverarbeitung, haben Röhren bei Kennern und Musikliebhabern ihre Bedeutung bewahrt oder zurückerlangt: Für eine mittlerweile gestiegene Zahl kritischer Hi-Fi-Hörer steht "ihr" Röhrenverstärker im Zentrum der heimischen Anlage und für unzählige Musiker ist der Gitarrenröhrenverstärker nach wie vor ein Garant für guten Sound. Dieses Book spricht jeden an, der sich für Röhren aus den verschiedensten Gründen interessiert, den "Audiophilen" ebenso wie den aktiven Musiker und natürlich auch den, der einfach nur etwas über die Geschichte und die gegenwärtige Anwendbarkeit von Röhren wissen will. Aus diesem Grund hat der Autor sowohl Informationen über ein interessantes Stück Technikgeschichte als auch – praxisorientiert – Schaltungen und Selbstbauanleitungen zusammengetragen.
