An electronic kit is a package of electrical components used to build an electronic device. Generally, kits are composed of electronic components, a circuit diagram (schematic), assembly instructions, and often a printed circuit board (PCB) or another type of prototyping board. There are two types of kits. Some build a single device or system.
A signal tracer is a piece of electronic test equipment used to troubleshoot radio and other electronic circuitry. [ 1 ] Usually a very simple device, it normally provides an amplifier , and a loudspeaker , often battery-powered and packaged into a small, hand-held test probe .

A milled printed circuit board. Printed circuit board milling (also: isolation milling) is the milling process used for removing areas of copper from a sheet of printed circuit board (PCB) material to recreate the pads, signal traces and structures according to patterns from a digital circuit board plan known as a layout file.

The Tektronix model 575 curve tracer shown in the gallery was a typical early instrument. Nowadays, curve tracers are entirely solid state and are substantially automated to ease the workload of the operator, automatically capture data, and assure the safety of the curve tracer and the DUT.
A continuity tester is an item of electrical test equipment used to determine if an electrical path can be established between two points; [1] that is if an electrical circuit can be made. The circuit under test is completely de-energized prior to connecting the apparatus. [1]
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.
In some heavily optimised point-to-point RF constructions the circuit can be tuned by bending wires around. Placing the completed unit in an enclosure protects the circuit from its environment, and users from electrical hazards. A few large brand names still use terminal strip-type point-to-point boards, but usually for special product lines.
