subcomponents
Pieces within pieces
Subcomponents are the parts that make up a component—the smaller pieces within an already distinct unit.
An engine is a component of a car; pistons and valves are subcomponents of the engine.
The term appears frequently in engineering, software, and manufacturing contexts where systems nest within systems: The dashboard subcomponents arrived separately from the main assembly.
