A method for analyzing a N-component percolation model in terms of one parameter p+ is presented. In Monte Carlo simulations on 163, 323, 643, and 1283 simple cubic lattices the percolation threshold p+c is determined for N=2. Continuous transitions of p+c are reported in two limits for the bond existence probabilities p= and p. In the same limits, empirical formulas for the percolation threshold p+c as a function of one-component concentration fb are proposed and links to existing percolation models are established. In the limit p==0 a different site percolation model is proposed and its threshold, fbc≃0.145, is reported.
