Purpose
This unit standard covers the identification of electronic components used in
the electronic manufacturing environment. This includes identifying
component parameters such as type, size, ratings, and connections of given
components, and matching components against their representation in
production line documentation or circuit diagrams.
People credited with this unit standard are able to:
– identify component parameters; and
– match real components to their representation on production line
documentation or circuit diagrams.

Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Identify component parameters.
Range
parameters – type, size, type number, rating, connections;
identification of 15 different components from candidate’s production
environment is required.
Performance criteria
1.1
Types of components are identified.
Range
1.2
typical types – resistors, capacitors, diodes, integrated circuits,
thermistors, transistors, potentiometers, light emitting resistors,
transformers, coils, relays, opto-electronic devices, small motors.
Size, rating, type number, and connections are identified, as appropriate for the
component.
Range
size – for instance values of resistance or capacitance;
type number – of active devices such as transistors, diodes, and
integrated circuits;
rating – where readily identifiable;
connections – where these are important, eg electrolytic
capacitors, diodes, transistors, thyristors, transformers, coils.
Element 2
Match real components to their representation on production line documentation or circuit
diagrams.
Performance criteria
2.1
Given the production line documentation or circuit diagrams, the corresponding
components are selected from a pool of components.
Range
evidence of matching 10 components selected from candidate’s
production environment.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.

Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
