    Download this condensed collection of handy data to help you through your next project.


    Handy Reference

    How much current will AWG 14 wire handle?

    How many turns does it take to get a 140 mH inductor?

    What is the pinout for a TO-220 transistor?

    Answer these and many other questions using the Handy Reference. The Handy Reference consists of two sides of an 8.5 × 11 inch sheet chock full of useful tidbits of reference data. It covers everything from the formula for capacitance to a wire table in a one page cheat sheet. So put down that data book and click on www.arrl.org/news/files/HandyReference.pdf to download a copy of the Handy Reference.
