Nameless1 said:Hey people,
What would the difference be between a normal 5W wire wound resistor and a 5W "power" wire wound resistor...
We going through an interesting discussion here at work, what do you guys think?
Nameless1 said:Cool, figured its the same...just wanted to know what the other view points were. Also, we in the Component distribution industry and thats what the customer specified...and sometimes they can be fussy for no reason! blerry customers!
Hero999 said:Also, don't use wirewound resistors at high frequencies as they're inductive, use metal film resistors instead.
That would be so nice for designing tightly packed PCBsNameless1 said:hmmm....just had another thought....what are the odds of someday resistors becoming "redundant" as more and more they are included in semiconductor packages....???
