The Receiver is a small electronic part that picks up a signal from a remote controller. It is the key part of a remote trigger for crafted bombs and devices.
Electricians use it to build a Crafted Trigger. A linked remote controller can then set the device off from a distance. Building it needs a known recipe and some Electrical skill.
The part is light. It never turns up as loot on its own. It comes from dismantling household electronics such as a TV Remote. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
The Receiver goes into the Make Remote Trigger recipe. That recipe needs Electrical level 2. It also takes 2 Scrap Electronics and 2 Glue, with a screwdriver and pliers that are kept.
A Radio Receiver or a Cordless Phone can stand in for the Receiver in that recipe.
The finished Crafted Trigger links to a remote controller. The controller then sets off the linked device from a safe distance.

Locations
The Dismantle Electronic Item recipe is the only way to get one. It takes a screwdriver and a CD Player, Home Alarm, TV Remote or Speaker. Each dismantle gives Scrap Electronics and a chance at an extra part. That part may be an Amplifier, a Motion Sensor or a Receiver.
Notes
- The in-game tooltip says it links to a crafted Remote Controller to trigger from a distance.
- Dismantling several electronic items raises the odds of getting one.
- A Radio Receiver or a Cordless Phone works in its place for the trigger.
- Scrapping a Receiver gives a little metal.
