var swapSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
 swap: {

     Items: {
         Electro: [

              }

Use the projection field :

If you want to get all the array :

   dbswap.findOne(
    { 'swap.Items.Electro.id':data.id},
    { 'swap.Items.Electro' : 1}
   , function(err, obj){

will return something like :

{
 _id: ObjectId("sdfsdfsdf"),
 Electro:[{....},{....}]
}

Or if you want only the object in the array who match the query :

   dbswap.findOne(
    { 'swap.Items.Electro.id':data.id},
    { 'swap.Items.Electro.$' : 1}
   , function(err, obj){

will return something like :

{
 _id: ObjectId("sdfsdfsdf"),
 Electro:{your match object}
}
