Schematic Symbol Reference

Schematic Symbol Reference is a handy tool for the users who need to get accustomed with the symbols used for electronic schematics and circuits. It includes a large list of components and aims to provide you with useful information.

The students that need to create electronic circuits start by using symbols to create a schematic before soldering real components. This is a common practice that allows both specialists and beginners to avoid errors and improve the output quality.

When you are just starting to work with circuits, it is good to have a documentation that explains the meaning of each symbol. This program aims to provide you with a tool that displays the available symbols and describes the usage for each component.

The main window displays the component categories and allows you to view the details about a certain symbol by selecting it from the list. Apparently, the program is designed to occupy a small portion of your screen, since the window cannot be resized.

Unfortunately, the application does not include the option to search for a component by its name which means that a casual user might need to select multiple items in order to find the desired one.

The descriptions include useful details and even some basic physics concepts such as resistance, its measurement unit and notation. The program does not include a print option but you can copy the text and paste it in other applications.

Although it includes useful information, Schematic Symbol Reference is suitable for the users who need to understand the symbols found on a schematic or confirm their knowledge. If you have no knowledge about symbols, you can spend a few minutes trying to find a simple switch.
