A transducer is a device that converts one type of energy to another, or responds to a physical parameter . A transducer is in its fundamental form a passive component . If the component is electrical then it generally has two electrical terminals. See also electronics, gear, sensor

- servomechanismIn its most general definition, a servomechanism usually just shortened to servo is a device used to affect mechanical control at a distance. For example, a servo can be used at a remote location to recreate the angular position of a control knob. The con
- switchThis article is about electrical switches. For other meanings of the word "switch", see Switch (disambiguation). A switch is a device for making or breaking an electric circuit, or for selecting between multiple circuits. In the simplest case, a switch ha

- quartzFor other uses of this word, see Quartz (disambiguation). Milk quartz rock Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth (about 12% vol. It has a hexagonal crystal structure made of trigonal-crystallized silica (silicon dioxide, SiO), with a hardness of 7
- relayA relay is an electromechanical switch that uses an electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. When a current flows through the induction coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an armature that is mechanically linked to a moving con
- strain gaugeA strain gauge is a device used to measure deformation ( strain) of an object. The most common type of strain gauge consists of a flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern etched onto the backing. As the object is deformed, the foil pattern used in weight/force measuring.

- gramophone pick-upThe phonograph or gramophone was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s. Usage of these terms is somewhat different in British English and American English; see usage note below. In more modern usage, this devic
- hydrophoneA hydrophone is a sound-to- electricity transducer for use in water or other liquids, analogous to a microphone for air. Most hydrophones use the piezoelectric effect to create the required electrical effect. Note that an hydrophone can sometimes also ser
