Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are resistors that act as electrical components, typically used in electronic circuits. They are usually cylindrically shaped and have two metal lead wires that come out of their ends. The leads are inserted through a hole in the board, and then the resistor is soldered. MFR100FTF73-20K is one such through hole resistor.
