Electronic components can be divided into four categories according to their functional characteristics. The first is passive components. These components do not have the function of generating or amplifying electrical energy, but they play a key role in connecting, compensating, and distributing in the circuit, such as resistors and capacitors. The second is active Компоненти . Тези компоненти могат активно да генерират, усилват или контролират електрическата енергия, като транзистори, диоди и т.н. . Те обикновено изискват външна поддръжка на мощността . Третата категория е за защита на веригите, които се фокусират върху защитата на безопасността на веригата, като превишаване на проверка, Fuses и т.н. overcurrent or electromagnetic interference. Finally, there are power components, which are mainly responsible for power conversion, such as transformers, inverters, etc., which convert grid power into the form required by the equipment. In the design and manufacture of electronic equipment, accurate classification and selection of components are crucial and
