    Basic Electronic Components – Types,

    Functions, Symbols
    BY SANTOSH DAS | LAST UPDATED ON AUGUST 5, 2022
    List of Types of Basic Electronic Components, Functions, Symbols.

    Basic Electronic Components are electronic devices or parts usually


    packaged in a discrete form with two or more connecting leads or metallic
    pads. These devices are intended to be connected together, usually by
    soldering to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), to create an electronic circuit with a
    particular function (for example an amplifier, radio receiver, oscillator, wireless).
    Some of the Basic Electronic Components are: resistor, capacitor, transistor,
    diode, operational amplifier, resistor array, logic gate etc.

    Table of Contents
    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.

    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.
