What is the Symbol for the Black Electronic Component?

AI Thread Summary
The black electronic component in question is an integrated circuit (IC), commonly referred to as "chip on board" (COB). This manufacturing technique involves directly assembling the IC die onto a printed circuit board (PCB) without traditional packaging, making it suitable for mass production of low-cost devices. COB components are designed to be resistant to vibration and moisture, but if they fail, the entire PCB must be replaced. The discussion also highlights that once the die is wire bonded to the PCB, it is encased in a black plastic blob for protection. The symbol for this component was not explicitly provided in the discussion.

That is an integrated circuit. They are made like this in cheap, mass produced equipment.
I have seen one in a digital thermometer.

They look like a blob of plastic, but they are fairly immune to vibration and moisture. However if they failed, the whole printed circuit board would have to be discarded.

Just to add a little bit to vk6kro's post -- it's called "chip on board", or COB. It's a technique for assembling an IC die onto a PCB, without first injection molding the die into a plastic package with leads, and soldering that onto the PCB. As vk6kro says, it is used in high-volume manufacturing of inexpensive devices, generally, and does not offer any rework capability.
 


this one ! What is this ?

Yes, that one. It is an integrated circuit.
