Electronics Components are the elementary structure block or physical object in an electronic system like circuits and devices. They are the individual units that perform specific functions within a circuit Electronic divided into three categories and sub categories such as Structural, Electro-Mechanical and Electrical and electronics in this blog we will describe about electronics components. Electronics components are divided into two sub categories in nature first is Active and last o is other Passive components.
some common types of electronic components:
active components are Transistors, Diodes, ICs, Amplifiers, controllers, processors etc.
Passive Components are Resistors, Capacitors, Sensors, Batteries etc.
Transistor: is a type of semiconductor device which amplify frequency of electronic signals and electrical power. Transistors are crucial for digital logic circuits and amplifiers.
Diode: is also a type of active semiconductor device which allow current flow in one direction only. Diodes are used for rectification, signal demodulation, and voltage regulation.
Resistor: A passive component is a type of components that limits the flow of electric current. It is often used to control voltage levels and current flow in devices
Capacitor: also another type of passive component that applied stores and releases electrical energy in the form of an electric field. Capacitors are used for filtering, energy storage, and coupling signals between different parts of a circuit modules.
Inductor: is a type of electronic component applied for stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it. It is often used in circuits to control changes in current and filter out certain frequencies.
Integrated Circuit (IC): is also type of microchip or chip, an IC is a complex assembly of multiple electronic components, including transistors, resistors, capacitors, and more, all integrated onto a single substrate. They can perform a wide range of functions, from simple logic operations to complex data processing.
Microcontroller (MCU): is also type of integrated circuit that contains a processor, memory, and input/output peripherals. Microcontrollers are the engine of many embedded systems and electronic devices.
Voltage Regulator: is a type of component that maintains a constant output voltage regardless of changes in input voltage or load. It's commonly used to provide stable power to sensitive components.
Sensor: A device that detects and measures physical properties like light, temperature, pressure, or motion. Sensors are used to gather data from the environment for various purposes.
Switch: is also type of electronic component that can on or off a circuit, controlling the flow of current. Mechanical switches and semiconductor switches (like MOSFETs) are common types.
Crystal Oscillator: is also type of electronic component that generates precise and stable oscillations of electrical signals. It's commonly used to provide a clock signal 0 and 1 for microcontrollers and digital circuits.
Relay: is also widely using electronic component it is electromechanical switch that is controlled by an electrical signal. Relays are used to control high-power or high-voltage devices using a low-power signal.
Connector: is a type of electronic component which is use to establish electrical connections between different parts of a circuit or between different devices.
It is just a few examples of the many electronic components that form the basis of modern electronic technology. Different components serve different functions and are combined in various ways to create the circuits and devices we use in everyday life.
