The types of electronic components

Electronic components are the general term for elements and devices. With the development of science and technology, there are more and more types of electronic components, with about tens of thousands of kinds. According to different roles in the circuit, for example, a light-emitting diode (LED) can be classified as a diode type, and can also be classified as a display device type together with digital tubes, LCDs, etc. At the same time, LED can also be classified as a photoelectric device type together with optocouplers. In addition, optocouplers can also be classified as transistor types together with transistors and field-effect transistors. For another example, a varistor can be classified as a resistor component and also as a protective component.

The classification of components can be determined according to actual needs and actual situations. Comprehensive factors should be considered, and comprehensive factors such as key characteristics and applications of components, production technology, and convenient communication should be considered at the same time, which is more in line with reality. The following introduces the classification of commonly used electronic components (Note: Most electronic components have plug-ins and surface mount, so examples are not given here).
