All Type of Electronic Components

In Electronics, There are two types of component 1) Active Component, 2) Passive Component

Active Component: The electronics components require an external source of energy to perform their function. Example of Active Component includes amplifying components such as Transistor, Vaccum Tubes, and Tunnel Diodes. Etc.

Passive Component: They can't introduce net energy for the circuit. Though they can’t amplify. So they don’t needs to perform. Example of Passive Components such as capacitor, resistor, inductors, and transformers.

There are so many verities of active component

Semiconductors

Diodes – It is an electrical device to permit current to go through it in one direction. There are different type of diode and Light-emitting diode

Diode, Rectifier, Bridge rectifier

Zener diode – Pass current in reverse direction to provide a constant voltage reference

Schottky diode, hot carrier diode – Very fast diode with minor forward voltage drop

Transient voltage suppression diode (TVS), Unipolar or Bipolar – Used to absorb high-voltage spikes

Varactor, Tuning diode, Varicap, Variable capacitance diode – A diode whose AC capacitance varies according to the DC voltage applied.

Photodiode – Passes current in proportion to incident light

Light-emitting diode (LED) – A diode that emits light

Avalanche photodiode - Photodiode with internal gain

Solar Cell, photovoltaic cell, PV array or panel, produces power from light

DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current), Trigger Diode) – Often used to trigger an SCR

Constant-current diode

Transistors - A transistor is a semiconductor device utilized to increase as well as change electric alerts and electricity. Different type of transistors

Bipolar junction transistor (BJT, or simply "transistor") – NPN or PNP

Darlington transistor – NPN or PNP

Photo transistor – Amplified photo detector

Photo Darlington – Amplified photo detector
