You don't, because there aren't any.

A new feature: Component salvaging. There is a new tool for you to use called a mechanic's kit. It opens ship modules and allows you access to their components. If you find high quality components you can swap them into your favorite modules to get a stat boost. The output increase can be fairly substantial for high tier components.

These components will not appear in the component slots of enemy ships. It is stored in the cargo slots as loot that you can obtain. After obtaining the component items, you can use the mechanics kit to install/detach them to/from the modules in your ship.
