Claim:
1. A passive electrical component comprising: a substrate; at least a first, second and third electrically conductive pad, each disposed on said substrate; a first electrical device fixedly attached to said first pad and said second pad and making an electrical connection therebetween, said third pad devoid of electrical connection to either said first or said second pads and wherein said first electrical device is not physically attached to said third pad, said passive electrical component oriented in a first position where said first conductive pad to be electrically connected to a first electrical component, said second conductive pad to be electrically connected to a second electrical component, said third conductive pad to be electrically connected to a third electrical component, said passive electrical component adapted to be reoriented in a second position where said first electrical component is electrically connected to said third conductive pad, said second electrical component is electrically connected to said first conductive pad and said third electrical component is electrically connected to said second conductive pad, said electrical components in a location external from said substrate, and said passive electrical component is recognizable as an independent component by both a computer aided design program and an automated component assembly machine.
