Circuit Components

Circuit components are basic components such as resistors, capacitors, coils, diodes and transistors that limit, switch, rectify or store energy in an electrical or electronic circuit. They are used in power supplies, control and charging circuits, rectifying and suppression circuits in machine panels, and in repairing faulty boards. This category currently consists of the Diodes subgroup and includes Konsan-branded 35 A 1000 V and 50 A 1000 V bridge diodes. Compare the rated current and withstand voltage of the component with the highest operating values in the circuit; also determine the housing type, terminal and cooling need by the mounting location. In semiconductor components, the current on the label is given for a specific temperature condition; under continuous load, the manufacturer's temperature-dependent current curve governs. Panel protection and control devices such as fuses, contactors, relays and switches are not in this group; they are listed in the Switching and Protection Products category.

How to choose Circuit Components

Circuit components are basic components such as resistors, capacitors, coils, diodes and transistors that limit, switch, rectify or store energy in an electrical or electronic circuit. They are used in power supplies, control and charging circuits, rectifying and suppression circuits in machine panels, and in repairing faulty boards.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
