AGP BUS. The Accelerated Graphics Port bus was widely used as a video expansion bus on personal computers from 1997 to 2006. The AGP electrical standard was derived from the Parallel PCI bus. The fastest speed; AGP 8x used a 533MHz clock with 32 bytes/clock transfers, with a Bandwidth of 2.1GBps. The AGP Bus was rendered obsolete by the introduction of the PCIe interface [PCI Express].
AIR-CONTROL PANEL. Panel that monitors the dry-air input at each user equipment. [Manufacturers of Environmental Alarms]
AIR-CORE INDUCTOR. An inductor composed of two or more coils that are wound around a
non-metallic core. [Manufacturers of Inductors]
| AIR-CORE TRANSFORMER. A transformer composed of two or more coils that are wound around a non-metallic core. [Manufacturers of Transformers] |

ALIASING. See Nyquist Sampling Rate
ALLIGATOR CLIP. See Types of Alligator Clips
ALLOYED JUNCTION. A junction formed by re-crystallization of a molten region of P-type material on an N-type substrate, or vice versa.
ALPHA. The emitter-to-collector current gain in a common-base circuit of a transistor. Also refer to the section covering Transistor Terms. [Transistor Manufacturers]
ALTERNATING CURRENT. [AC] An electrical current that constantly changes amplitude and changes polarity at regular intervals.
ALTITUDE. The vertical distance of an aircraft or object above a given reference, such as ground or sea level. Additional reference information may be obtained via Airborne Environment Classification per MIL-HDBK-217.
ALUMINUM CREEP. The movement of aluminum wire from a point where pressure is applied. The "retreat" of heated aluminum wire as it cools.
