The Most Common Basic Electronic Components

These are the most common components:

1. Resistors 5. Capacitors
2. LED 6. Transistors
3. Inductors 7.transformer
4. Integrated Circuits ( IC)

Resistors are the most commonly used components in electronic circuits and

devices. The main purpose of a resistor is to maintain specified values of voltage and
current in an electronic circuit. A Resistor works on the principle of Ohm’s law and the
law states that the voltage across the terminals of a resistor is directly proportional to
the current flowing through it. The unit of resistance is Ohm. The Ohm symbol shows
resistance in a circuit from the name Geog Ohm – a German physicist who invented it.
A Resistor is a passive element that opposes current flow in a circuit. It is a two-
terminal element, dissipates its energy in the form of heat. The resistor will damage due
to the overflow of electric current through it. Resistance is measured in units of ohms
and resistance, resistor color code calculator is used to calculate the value of the resistor
according to its colors.

Here are different types of resistors

 Wire wound resistors
 Metal film resistors
 Thick film and Thin film resistors
 Network and Surface Mount Resistors
 Variable Resistors
 Special resistor
 Fusible resistor

 Wire wound Resistors

These resistors vary in physical appearance and size. These wire-wound resistors
are commonly a length of wires usually made of an alloy such as nickel chromium or
copper-nickel manganese alloy. These resistors are the oldest
type of resistors having excellent properties like high power
ratings and low resistive values. During their use, these resistors can become very hot,
and for this reason these are housed in a finned metal case.

These resistors are made from metal oxide or small rods of ceramic-coated metal. These
are similar to carbon-film resistors and their resistivity is controlled by the thickness of
the coating layer. The properties like reliability, accuracy and stability are considerably
better for these resistors. These resistors can be obtained in a wide range of resistance
values (from a few ohms to millions of ohms).

Thick film and Thin Film Resistors

Thin film resistors are made by sputtering some resistive material
on to an insulating substrate (a method of vacuum deposition), and
are therefore more expensive than the thick film resistors. The
resistive element for these resistors is approximately 1000
angstroms. Thin film resistors have better temperature coefficients,
lower capacitance, low parasitic inductance and low noise.
These resistors are preferred for microwave active and passive power components such
as microwave power terminations, microwave power resistors and microwave power
attenuators. These are mostly used for applications that require high accuracy and high
stability.
Usually thick film resistors are made by mixing ceramics with powered glass, and these
films have tolerances ranging from 1 to 2%, and a temperature coefficient between + 200
or +250 and -200 or -250. These are widely available as low-cost resistors and compared
with the thin film, thick film resistive element is thousands times thicker.

Surface mount resistors

Surface mount resistors come in a variety of packages size and shape agreed by
the EIA (Electronic Industry Alliance). These are made by depositing a film of resistive
material and don’t have enough space for color-code bands owing to small size.
The tolerance may be as low as 0.02% and consists of 3 or 4 letters as an indication. The
smallest size of the 0201 package is a tiny 0.60mm x 0.30mm resistor and this three
number code works in a similar way to the color code bands on wire-ended resistors.

Network Resistors
Network resistors are a combination of resistances that give identical value to all
pins. These resistors are available in dual inline and single inline packages. Network
resistors are commonly used in applications such as ADC (Analog to digital
converters) and DAC, pull up or pull down.
 Variable resistors
Variable resistors are potentiometer and presets. These resistors consist of fixed
value of resistance between two terminals and are mostly used for setting the sensitivity
of sensors and voltage division. A wiper (moving part of the potentiometer) changes the
resistance that can be rotated with the help of a screw driver.
These resistors have three tabs, in which the wiper is the middle tab that acts as a
voltage divider, when all the tabs are used. When the middle tab is used along with the
other tab, it becomes a rheostat or variable resistor. When only the side tabs are used,
then it behaves as a fixed resistor.

Fusible resistors are a preferred passive component for many design engineers because
they combine two roles: a fuse and a resistor. ... Fusible film resistors are ideal for
applications with a lower power level and in which the overload- and surge-handling
requirements are not too severe.

Special Resistors

These are classified into two types:

 Thermistors
 Light-Dependent Resistors

Light-dependent Resistors (LDR)

Light-dependent resistors are very useful in different electronic circuits, especially in

clocks, alarms and street lights. When the resistor is in darkness, its resistance is very
high (1 Mega Ohm) while in light, the resistance falls down to a few kilo Ohms.
Thermistor - is a temperature sensing device whose resistance
changes with temperature. Thermistors, however, are made from
semiconductor materials.
