MAKING YOUR OWN COMPONENT

MAKING YOUR OWN RESISTOR, CAPACITOR, INDUCTORor DIODE

Quite often you will not have the exact value of resistance or capacitance for a repair.
We have already covered placing resistors and capacitors in parallel and series:

Resistors in Parallel and/or Series
Capacitors in Parallel and/or Series

Here are some extras:
RESISTORS
Two 1k 0.5watt resistors in parallel produces a 470R 1watt resistor.
Two 1k 0.5watt resistors in series produces a 2k 1watt resistor.
CAPACITORS
Two 100n 100v capacitors in series produces a 50n capacitor @200v
INDUCTORS: Two inductors in series - ADD THE VALUES
DIODES: Two 1Amp 400v diodes in series produces a 1Amp 800v diode
Two 1Amp 400v diodes in parallel produces a 2Amp 400v diode
ZENER DIODES: Zener diodes can be connected in series to get a higher voltage.

Two 12v zener diodes in series produces a 24v zener.
