RELAY
Basically, an electrically operated
switch which may be normally
closed (1) or open (2).
Current flow through a small coil
creates a magnetic field which either
opens or closes an attached switch.

RESISTOR
An electrical component with a fixed
resistance, placed in a circuit to
reduce voltage to a specific value.SWITCH, DOUBLE THROW
A switch which continuously passes
current through one set of contacts
or the other.
RESISTOR, TAPPED
A resistor which supplies two or
more different non adjustable
resistance values.SWITCH, IGNITION
A key operated switch with several
positions which allows various
circuits, particularly the primary
ignition circuit, to become
operational.
RESISTOR, VARIABLE or RHEOSTAT
A controllable resistor with a variable
rate of resistance.
Also called a potentiometer or
rheostat.
SENSOR (Thermistor)
A resistor which varies its resistance
with temperature.SWITCH, WIPER PARK
Automatically returns wipers to the
stop position when the wiper switch
is turned off.
(Reed Switch Type)
SENSOR, SPEED
Uses magnetic impulses to open
and close a switch to create a signal
for activation of other components.TRANSISTOR
A solidstate device typically used as
an electronic relay; stops or passes
current depending on the voltage
applied at ºbaseº.
