Electronic Components

     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 electrical terminals (or leads). These leads connect, usually soldered to a printed circuit board (PCSB), to create an electronic circuit. Now i will introduce you to several electronic components.

1. Capasitor

A capacitor (originally known as condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices.

2.Transistor

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronics signals and electrical power. 

It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. 

3.Resistor

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.

4. Thermo switch

This switch works automatically when changes the temperature value exceeds the nominal value

5.LED

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting.

6.Relay

A relay is an electrically operated switch. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal

7.Push Button

A push button switch or simply button is a simple switch mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process. 

8. Toggle Switch

A toggle switch is a class of electrical switches that are manually actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism.

9.Slide Switch

Slide switch uses a simple slide action to produce the same connections as a toggle switch

10.Diode

In electronics, diode is a two-terminal electronic component with an asymmetric transfer characteristic, with low (ideally zero) resistance to current flow in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other

11. 7 segment

A seven-segment display (SSD), or seven-segment indicator, is a form of electronic display device for displaying decimal numerals that is an alternative to the more complex dot-matrix displays. Seven-segment displays are widely used in digital clocks, electronic meters, and other electronic devices for displaying numerical information.

12.Transformer

A varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the Transformer's core and thus a varying magnetic flux through the secondary winding.

13.AC motor

An AC Motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). It commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stationary stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft that is given a torque by the rotating field.

14.Oscillator

An Oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive, oscillating electronic signal, often a sine wave or a square wave. 

15.Solenoid

A solenoid is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. A solenoid is a device that converts energy into linear motion

16.SCR

A silicon-controlled rectifier (or semiconductor-controlled rectifier) is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. The SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER, usually referred to as an SCR, is one of the family of semiconductors that includes transistors and diodes.

17.Zener Diode

A Zener diode is a diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but will also permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage, "zener knee voltage" or "zener voltage" or "avalanche point".

18.IC

IC (integrated circuits) is a set of electronic circuits on one small plate ("chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon. This can be made much smaller than a discrete circuit made from independent components.

19.FUSE

A Fuse is type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide overcurrent protection, of either the load or source circuit. A fuse is a safety device that lies in series in a circuit between an electrical source and its associated load(s). When the current, or flow of electricity, exceeds its designed threshold, the fuse is calibrated to permanently open the series circuit, thereby disconnecting the load(s) from the power source.

20. LDR

A photoresistor or light dependent resistor (LDR) is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity.

21.Potentiometer

A potentiometer informally a pot, is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment.

22.Crystal Oscillator

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency

    Thats not all, there are still many other electronic components. i just listing some of them. Happy learning Electronic Industry
