lead wire
Current-carrying cable
A lead wire is a wire that connects a component to an electrical circuit or power source.
In electronics, lead wires extend from capacitors, resistors, and other components for soldering to circuit boards.
In medical devices like pacemakers, lead wires carry electrical signals between the device and the heart.
The term also applies to wires connecting test equipment to circuits: Attach the lead wires to the battery terminals.
