These are series resistors which normally have only a minimal voltage-drop across them, typically 3V. No flashover risk for those. Just be sure to provide adequate creepage & clearance spacing between those resistors and anything that is low-voltage. I do have a 100Meg resistor which is physically large enough to prevent arcing. Since it is for a voltage divider, it has almost 2kV across it. If I used an SMT device, it would be risky not only for flashover, but also for tin-whisker growth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
