Various electronic components

An electronic component is any basic discrete device or physical entity in an electronic system used to

affect electrons or their associated fields. Electronic components are mostly industrial products, available

in a singular form and are not to be confused with electrical elements, which are conceptual abstractions

representing idealized electronic components.

Electronic components have two or more electricalterminals(orleads). These leads connect,

usuallysolderedto aprinted circuit board, to create anelectronic circuit(adiscrete circuit) with a particular

function (for example anamplifier,radio receiver, oroscillator). Basic electronic components may be

packaged discretely, as arrays or networks of like components, or integrated inside of packages such

assemiconductorintegrated circuits,hybrid integrated circuits, orthick filmdevices. The following list of

electronic components focuses on the discrete version of these components, treating such packages as

components in their own right.

[edit]Classification

A component may be classified aspassive, active, or electromechanic. The strict physics definition treats

passive components as ones that cannot supply energy themselves, whereas a batterywould be seen as

an active component since it truly acts as a source of energy.

However,electronic engineerswho performcircuit analysisuse a more restrictive definition ofpassivity.

When only concerned with the energy ofsignals, it is convenient to ignore the so-calledDCcircuit and

pretend that the power supplying components such astransistorsorintegrated circuitsis absent (as if

each such component had its own battery built in), though it may in reality be supplied by the DC circuit.

Then, the analysis only concerns the AC circuit, an abstraction that ignores DC voltages and currents

(and the power associated with them) present in the real-life circuit. This fiction, for instance, lets us view

an oscillator as "producing energy" even though in reality the oscillator consumes even more energy from

a DC power supply, which we have chosen to ignore. Under that restriction, we define the terms as used

incircuit analysisas:

Active components rely on a source of energy (usually from the DC circuit, which we have chosen

to ignore) and usually can inject power into a circuit, though this is not part of the definition.[1]

Active

components include amplifying components such astransistors, triodevacuum tubes(valves),

andtunnel diodes.

Passive components can't introduce net energy into the circuit. They also can't rely on a source of

power, except for what is available from the (AC) circuit they are connected to. As a consequence

they can't amplify (increase the power of a signal), although they may increase a voltage or current

(such as is done by a transformer or resonant circuit). Passive components include two-terminal

components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers.

Electromechanical componentscan carry out electrical operations by using moving parts or by

using electrical connections

Most passive components with more than two terminals can be described in terms oftwo-port

parametersthat satisfy the principle ofreciprocitythough there are rare exceptions.[2]

In contrast, active

components (with more than two terminals) generally lack that property.

1. Transducersgenerate physical effects when driven by an electrical signal, or vice-versa.

2. Sensors(detectors) are transducers that react to environmental conditions by changing their

electrical properties or generating an electrical signal.

3. The transducers listed here are single electronic components (as opposed to complete

assemblies), and arepassive(see Semiconductors and Tubes foractiveones). Only the most

common ones are listed here.
