Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties. An electronic component is any basic discrete device or physical entity in an electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. Electronic components are mostly industrial products, available in a singular form and are not to be confused with electrical elements, which are conceptual abstractions representing idealized electronic components..
