Electronic components are discrete devices or entities used in electronic systems to affect electrons or electromagnetic fields. They have terminals that connect to create circuits with particular functions. Components can be classified as passive, active, or electromechanical. Passive components cannot introduce energy to a circuit and include resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Active components rely on an external energy source and can amplify signals; examples include transistors and integrated circuits. Electromechanical components use moving parts or electrical connections to perform operations.

Electronic component

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 a number of electrical terminals or leads. These
leads connect to create an electronic circuit with a particular function (for
example an amplifier, radio receiver, or oscillator). Basic electronic components
may be packaged discretely, as arrays or networks of like components, or
integrated inside of packages such as semiconductor integrated circuits, hybrid
integrated circuits, or thick film devices. The following list of electronic
components focuses on the discrete version of these components, treating such
packages as components in their owner right.
Components can be classified as passive, active, or electromechanics. The
strict physics definition treats passive components as ones that cannot supply
energy themselves, whereas a battery would be seen as an active component
since it truly acts as a source of energy.
However, electronic engineers who perform circuit analysis use a more
restrictive definition of passivity. When only concerned with the energy
of signals, it is convenient to ignore the so-called DC circuit and pretend that the
power supplying components such as transistors or integrated circuits is 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 in circuit analysis as:

 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 as transistors, triode vacuum tubes (valves),
and tunnel 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 components can 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 of two-port parameters that satisfy the principle of reciprocity—though
there are rare exceptions.[2] In contrast, active components (with more than two
terminals) generally lack that property.
