Typical price i
14.– to 40.–

LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them.

They are energy-efficient and have a long lifespan, making them ideal for applications like display screens and decorative lighting.

Typical price i
14.– to 22.–

Zener diodes are designed to allow current to flow in the reverse direction when a specific voltage is reached.

They are commonly used for voltage regulation in power supplies, ensuring stable operation of electronic devices.

Typical price i
17.– to 72.–

Rectifier diodes convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), allowing current to flow in only one direction.

They are essential in power conversion applications, such as in power adapters and battery chargers.

Typical price i
17.– to 68.–

Electron tubes, or vacuum tubes, control electric current flow in a vacuum and can amplify signals.

While largely replaced by solid-state devices, they are still used in high-power applications and audio equipment for their unique sound characteristics.

Typical price i
14.– to 38.–

This range features a small number of LEDs, making it suitable for low-light applications such as accent or decorative lighting.
