Electronic components have revolutionized our lives. From everyday use items like mobiles, microwaves, and computers, electronic components are used across industries including IT, medical, aviation, manufacturing, and more. An active electronic component executes its functions with the use of an energy source which is normally removed from a DC circuit. These types of components that you may find with an electronics components distributor include diodes, batteries, ICs (Integrated Circuits), transistors, relay switches, and oscillators. On the other hand, passive components do not rely on a power source, so they cannot amplify. Passive components that you can find with electronics components distributors include capacitors, transformers, and inductors.
