Active Component
Active Component : A component whose functioning depends on an external input such as actuation, mechanical movement or supply of power. i.e. any component that is not a passive component. Examples of active components are pumps, fans, relays and transistors. It is emphasized that this definition is necessarily general in nature, as is the corresponding definition of passive component. Certain components, such as rupture discs, check valves, safety valves, injectors and some solid state electronic devices, have characteristics that require special consideration before designation as an active or passive component.
