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.
