Contrairement aux éléments électroniques incorporés dans les réseaux cristallins des circuits intégrés, les composants discrets sont les résistances, les condensateurs, les bobines, les tubes électroniques, les transistors, etc. qu'on peut obtenir sous forme d'articles séparés. Lors du montage d'ensembles électroniques, les composants discrets peuvent être enfichés ou soudés en place. Si un composant discret devient défectueux, on peut le remplacer individuellement. 3, record 1, French, - composant%20discret
