The Differences Between Active Devices and Passive Devices

Aug 01 , 2021

In the telecommuncations area, active and passive products are widely used.

An active device is any type of circuit component with the ability to electrically control electric charge flow (electricity controlling electricity). In order for a circuit to be properly called electronic, it must contain at least one active device.AZE manufactures active products such as power system( AC power or DC power systems), PDU, inverter,all-in-one power station,etc.

Components incapable of controlling current by means of another electrical signal are called passive devices. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and even diodes are all considered passive devices. Active devices include, but are not limited to, vacuum tubes, transistors, silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and TRIACs.For us, we supply active products such as server racks, outdoor rack enclosures,fiber optics,open frame racks.

Generally, a device that requires an (electrical) source is called an active device, and a device that does not require an (electrical) source is a passive device. Active devices are typically used for signal amplification, conversion, etc., passive devices are used for signal transmission, or "signal amplification" by directionality. Capacitors, resistors, and inductors are passive devices, and ICs, modules, etc. are all active devices
