Although they will work just fine in the right applications, beware of "zero" Ohm resistors in high current and high frequency areas because they are not really 0 Ohms. They have a finite resistance and will dissipate heat. If you use them to bridge a path with significant current, you should make sure that the Wattage rating will not be exceeded and also consider the Voltage drop. They are also not a very good short at high frequencies.

This works especially well for maintaining multiple grounds with a single point tie. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
