Choosing The Best Electronic Components

To start your planning and research, we developed a guide to help you find the best electronic components at a reasonable price. Our team will help set you on the right path to choosing the best electronic components, as having a good idea of what you want can improve your experience.

These mentioned electronic components are only meant as an elementary introduction to some components you will encounter when building electronic circuits.

Resistor: A resistor will resist the current flow in an electric circuit. This is probably the most common electronic component of them all. Usually, the resistor is used to set up the correct voltages in a circuit to make it work properly.

Capacitor: A capacitor is like a battery with a low capacity. It might, for example, be used to introduce a delay in a circuit.

Diode: A diode is a component that only conducts electricity in one direction. It is commonly used to convert from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Other types of diodes include Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Zener diode.

Transistor: A transistor is similar to a relay because it can turn on and off a current. The transistor is what makes amplifiers work.

Integrated Circuit (IC): An integrated circuit comprises several tiny components and is placed in a small package. It could be anything from a microcontroller to a radar system.

Relay: A relay is a switch that can be controlled electrically. If you connect the power to the relay, the switch opens. If you disconnect the power, the switch closes. (Or vice versa).

Inductor: Inductors are made up of wire in a coil. Inductors are passive components, and the coil in this component is insulated.

Crystal: A crystal oscillator is used to create a precise frequency, such as a clock for a microcontroller.
