RESISTOR LEAD FORM AND DIMENSIONS
Difference Between Radial and Axial
A variety of standard lead forms are available from Tokenchina for use where auto-insertion is not available or practical. Forms vary from simple right angle lead bends, vertical hair pin bends, to lock in styles that lock into the circuit board. This provides for a positive stand-off while holding the part securely in place during further applications. What is the difference between radial and axial?
