===Lead arrangements=== [[File:3 Resistors.jpg|thumb|right| Axial resistors with wire leads for through-hole mounting]] [[Through-hole]] components typically have "leads" (pronounced {{IPAc-en|l|iΛ|d|z}}) leaving the body "axially", that is, on a line parallel with the part's longest axis. Others have leads coming off their body "radially" instead.
