A unit of electrical current, or flow of electrons, that is equal to a charge of 1 coulomb moving through or across a conductor in 1 second.

he ability of a material to conduct electric current. It is expressed in terms of the current per unit of applied voltage.

A wire or combination of wires not insulated from one another, suitable for carrying electric current.

A device providing electrical connection/disconnections. It consists of a mating plug and receptacle.

The conducting part of a connector that acts with another such part to complete or break a circuit

Plated-on metal applied to the base contact metal to provide the required contact-resistance and/or wear-resistance.

A movement of electrons, positive ions, negative ions, or holes; the rate of transfer of electricity from one point to another.

A solid, liquid, or gaseous material that can sustain an electric field and act as an insulator.

P =IV; where P represents power, I represents electrical current, and V represents electrical potential.

The application of extremely thin deposits of a plating material for environmental protection or as a base for a subsequent layer of plating material

A pivot point or edge about which objects are free to rotate.

A small hand-held tool used to insert contacts into a connector.

The study of the effects of external forces including gravity upon the motions of physical bodies.

A simple machine that uses opposing torque around a fulcrum to perform work

Mechanical assemblies consisting of two or more levers connected to produce the desired motion. They can also be mechanisms consisting of rigid bodies and lower pairs.

A term generally meaning various combinations of machines and mechanisms.

A branch of physics concerned with the motions of objects and their response to forces.

Repetitive forward and backward circular motion such as that of a clock pendulum.

Circular motion as in the turning of a bicycle wheel.

ime rate of change with respect to distance. It is measured in feet per second (ft/s), feet per minute (ft/min), meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/hr).
