Components Close Up is a series of parts that I’ve photographed with the help of my microscope. Any parts are fair game for this series, but I prefer to look at parts that I can find datasheets about so that I can write a description about them. Clicking the links below will take you to a page with more pictures of each part, along with a link to the datasheet, if available.
Use the search bar below to quickly filter through the listings. Popular terms include things like MEMS or LED.
