What is it?

[LensCrazy]

It’s that time again. Guess what it is!!!

One clue…. It’s a close up of a piece of a common household item.

If the turnout is good I will try to do a different one every week.

A doorknob?

It’s a close up of a piece of a common household item...

...a flanged outrigger thermal transductor valve, specifically the area where the invert bi-polar conduit flow channel interface plate connects to the semi-hexagonal regulator release point.

Well, at least that's what it looks like to me. Not sure if this would be considered a common household item, but I know MY family's had one in our house for years... ;)

Steve,
You are so close its not even funny...LOL
Not a doorknob,
Most of us use this everyday, and yes it is in your house.
This is just part of if it...... a very small part of it.

Some of these thing i will post under the what is it topic will be thing you already use, but will give you a different perspective on them. I was thinking it would be fun to see different aspects of things we touch everyday.

Steve,

And I was thinking that the brass tube looks like part of some sort of gas burner... naah, couldn't be...

Themostat?

Themostat?

That's what I was going to guess. Some part of a thermostat.

[LensCrazy]

I may have to be careful of the difficulty of these.

Nope not a thermostat or any piece of it.

It is piece(front) of an electronic hand held device. Used my most people everyday

Ahhhh. The LED on a remote.

Nice.

[LensCrazy]

Almost... thats good, its actually the IR not the LED but good job.

[SmartWombat]

Probably a TV remote with a clear capsule, so it'll be the IR transmitter ... which is a LED but not a light you can see.
Nice macro job, you can see the wire bond to hte metap pad on top of the die.


Yes, I am a geek
