2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

   A PIR sensor can detect changes in the amount of infrared radiation impinging upon it, which varies depending on the temperature and surface characteristics of the objects in front of the sensor. [2] When an object, such as a person, passes in front of the background, such as a wall, the temperature at that point in the sensor's field of view ...

3. Security alarm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

   PIR sensors identify abrupt changes in temperature at a given point. As an intruder walks in front of the sensor, the temperature at that point will rise from room temperature to body temperature and then back again. This quick change triggers the detection. PIR sensors designed to be wall- or ceiling-mounted come in various fields of view ...

4. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

   Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

5. Pick-and-place machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick-and-place_machine

   Surface mount components are placed along the front (and often back) faces of the machine. Most components are supplied on paper or plastic tape, in tape reels that are loaded onto feeders mounted to the machine. Larger integrated circuits (ICs) are sometimes supplied and arranged in trays which are stacked in a compartment. More commonly used ...

6. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   3 Australian light switches and a "neon" indicator—in a 4-gang wall-plate. The lower switch is in the "on" or "down" position. Two Australian rocker switches (disassembled), together with a cutaway view, and a view of the switch connections An Australian architrave-mounted 2-gang switch plate and switches.

7. Centrifugal switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_switch

   In this case, the centrifugal switch consists of weights mounted to the shaft of the motor and held near the shaft by spring force. At rest, levers attached to the weights press a low-friction , non-conductive plate against a set of electrical contacts mounted to the motor housing, closing the contacts and connecting the starting winding to the ...

8. Through-hole technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-hole_technology

   Through-hole (leaded) resistors. In electronics, through-hole technology (also spelled "thru-hole") is a manufacturing scheme in which leads on the components are inserted through holes drilled in printed circuit boards (PCB) and soldered to pads on the opposite side, either by manual assembly (hand placement) or by the use of automated insertion mount machines.

9. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

   A sandwich panel is any structure made of three layers: a low-density core (PIR, mineral wool, XPS), and a thin skin-layer bonded to each side. Sandwich panels are used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required.
