"C" Terms and definitions
CIRCUIT. The complete path of an electric current.
Circuit Breaker.
 Circuit Breaker |
A device designed to open and close a circuit by nonautomatic
means and to open the circuit automatically on a predetermined over-current without injury to
itself when properly applied within its rating. |
CIRCULAR DIN. A type of connector. Definition of Circular DIN Connector.
CIRCULAR MIL. An area equal to that of a circle with a diameter of 0.001 inch. It is used for measuring the cross-sectional area of wires.
CIRCULAR MIL-FOOT. A unit of volume of a conductor having a cross-sectional area of 1 circular mil and a length of 1 foot.
Cladding. The dielectric material surrounding the core of an optical fiber.
CLAMPER. A circuit in which either the upper or lower extremity of a waveform is fixed at a desired value.
CLASS A AMPLIFIER OPERATION. The type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that variations in input signal polarities occur within the limits of cutoff and saturation.
CLASS AB AMPLIFIER OPERATION. The type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for a portion of the alternation of the input signal.
CLASS B AMPLIFIER OPERATION. The type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for one-half of the input signal.
CLASS C AMPLIFIER OPERATION. The type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for more than one-half of the input signal.
CLOCK. A device that generates periodic, accurately spaced signals used for timing applications. Related; Manufacturers of Integrated Circuit Timers, Manufacturers of Integrated Circuit Real Time Clocks
