ABSTRACT:
An electronic component (100) includes a body portion (105) for enclosing first and second electronic devices (415, 430). The component (100) has first and second leads (110, 115) extending therefrom for providing a connection to the first device (415) and third and fourth leads (125, 130) extending from the component (100) for providing a connection to the second device (430). The first device (415) can be a short circuit connection, a fuse, or a resistor, while the second device (430) can be a different device, such as an open circuit connection. When the first and second leads (110, 115) are inserted into a connector (205) of an external circuit (202), the first device (415) is electrically coupled to the circuit (202). When, alternatively, the third and fourth leads (125, 130) are inserted into the connector (205), the second device (430) is electrically coupled to the circuit (202).
