Electronic Component Types
Types of Electronic Components
Electronic components are the parts in an electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. They enable electronic systems to function as required. There are a lot of different electronic component types that serve different purposes. But, like the wheels of a cog, if one component stops working the whole system can’t function.
There are many different types of electronic components but they fall roughly into three categories – Active, Passive and Electromechanical. We have a broad range ready for shipping from our warehouse. Use the search bar above to search availability. Submit an RFQ and we can help you buy electronic components today.
Active Electronic Components
These component types require electrical power to operate.
They include Diodes, Transistors and Integrated Circuits (ICs).
Diodes Small Signal Diode | Transistors Junction Transistors | Integrated Circuits Digital Integrated Circuits |
Passive Electronic Components
This type of component do not require electrical power to operate, for example, they are not
capable of power gain.
They include Capacitors, Resistors, Inductors and Transducers.
Capacitors Ceramic Capacitors | Resistors Carbon-Composition Resistors | Inductors Ceramic Core Inductor (Air Core) | Transducers Piezoelectric Transducer |
Electromechanical Components
These types of components can carry out electrical operations by using moving parts or by using
electrical connections.
