An
electronic component
is a basic
Electronic
element usually packaged in a discrete form with two or more connecting leads or metallic pads.
Components are intended to be connected together, usually by
Soldering
to a
Printed Circuit Board
, to create an
Electronic Circuit
with a particular function (for example an
Amplifier
,
Radio Receiver
, or
Oscillator
). Components may be packaged singly (
Resistor
,
Capacitor
,
Transistor
,
Diode
etc) or in more or less complex groups as
Integrated Circuit
s (
Operational Amplifier
,
Resistor Array
,
Logic Gate
etc).
