We need to identify the leads on each component (the 'pinout') and we need to note which components have very short leads and will need accurately drilled holes for them to fit on the printed circuit board.
The component supplier's catalogue or website (for example Maplin Electroncs, here in the UK) usually gives the details. Of the four components shown on the left, only the 4k7 resistor can be fitted either way round. With the others, it's important to identify each lead and design the printed circuit board accordingly.
