Small Parts / Electronic Components of Mobile Phone and Their Function

Boost Coil: Its size is little bigger than coil. It is found in black colour and

Mobile Phone Coil

looks like a large button. Its function is to increase current. If this coil gets damaged then it has to be changed.

Coil: It is found in any section of a mobile phone. It is found in many shapes and sizes. Coils are found in 2 colours: (i) Black and white; and (ii) Blue and white. It has binding of copper coil inside. It filters and decreases Current and Voltage.

Capacitor: 3 types of capacitor are found in a mobile cell phone:

1. Non-Electrolytic Capacitor: It is found in any section of a mobile

   phone. Its height is little more than chip resistance. It can be of gray, yellow or brown in color. It has no Positive (+) or Negative (-) side. It filters DC current.

2. Electrolytic Capacitor: It is found in any section of a mobile phone. Its size is larger than non-electrolytic capacitor. It is found in 2 colors – (i) Orange with brown strip: and (ii) Black with white strip. The side with the strip is Positive (+) and the other side is Negative (-). It filters and stores current.

3. Network Capacitor: It is found in any section of a mobile phone. It is made from 2 or more Non-Electrolytic Capacitors.

Coupler: This electronic component is found in the Network Section of a

mobile phone. It is of either black or white color and has 6 pins bent inside.

Function: It filters network.

Faults: If the coupler is faulty then there will be no network in the mobile phone.

Diode: Diodes are of 4 types:-

1. Rectifier Diode: It is found in black color and converts AC Current to DC Current. It passes current in one direction. It does not pass current in reverse direction.

Resistance or Resistor: There are 2 types of resistance on the PCB of a

Mobile Phone Resistor

mobile phone:

1. Chip Resistance: It can be found in any section of a mobile phone. It is of black color. In some sets it is also found in blue and green colour. It is the smallest electronic components on the PCB of a mobile phone. It Decreases current and passes forward.

2. Network Resistance: It can be found in any section of a mobile phone. It is made from 2 or more Chip Resistance.

Transistor: This electronic component is found in any section of a mobile phone. It is of black color and it has 3 legs. It does the work of switching.
