For me that would be "electronic_parts" or "electronic_components" these 
days. This was different indeed when I was a child, but today 
"electronics" is a general term for many kind of home, office, 
professional and personal devices (including audio/Hi-Fi devices). The 
technical revolution changed our culture, even language-wise.

So we have a generic term and many other specific terms for the most 
popular classes of electronics, like "mobile phones", "computers" (and 
even "PCs/laptops/tablets" if we want to), "home entertrainment" ("TV 
sets", "Video/DVD/Blu-ray players", then also "Hi-Fi" including 
"tuners", "CD players", "speakers", "heapdhones" and special cables), 
"industrial electronics" etc.

It would be hard to find better wording for such a wide class of 
devices, so instead we can use different names for those specific areas.
