What are electronic components?

An electronic component is often a product used for industrial use. These electronic components have various electrical terminals or leads which connect with other electrical components to create a circuit. Usually, these components have a particular function or purpose (such as an amplifier).

Electronic components can be considered as passive, active, or electromechanics. For example, a battery would be considered an active component due to it acting as a source of energy for the whole circuit.

If you need a reliable electronic supply store, then look no further. We're here to help.
