Types of Electronic Components


These are of 2 types: Passive and Active Components. Both these types of
components can be either Through-Hole or SMD.
1. Passive Components
These components are those that do not have gain or directionality. They are
also called Electrical elements or electrical components.

Example: Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes, Inductors.


2. Active Components
These components are those that have gain or directionality.

Example: Transistors, Integrated Circuits or ICs, Logic Gates.


Active Components Passive Components

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Resistor

Transistor Capacitor

Integrated Circuit (IC) Inductor

Battery Circuit Breaker

Relay (Can also be used as Passive) Fuse

Diode Switch

Solar Cell Transformer


Current Sensor Electrical Wires & Power Cables
SMD Components Motor

Function of Basic Electronic Components


1. Terminals and Connectors: Components to make electrical connection.
2. Resistors: Components used to resist current.
3. Switches: Components that may be made to either conduct (closed) or not
(open).
4. Capacitors: Components that store electrical charge in an electrical field.
5. Magnetic or Inductive Components: These are Electrical components that
use magnetism.
6. Network Components: Components that use more than 1 type of Passive
Component.
7. Piezoelectric devices, crystals, resonators: Passive components that use
piezoelectric. effect.
8. Semiconductors: Electronic control parts with no moving parts.
9. Diodes: Components that conduct electricity in only one direction.
10. Transistors: A semiconductor device capable of amplification.
11. Integrated Circuits or ICs: A microelectronic computer circuit
incorporated into a chip or semiconductor; a whole system rather than a
single component.
