Please note that there are SMD versions of these as well. They will be marked with a single zero(0).


I have seen thee or four zeros, depending on the tolerance. They
were 5% and 1%. We used them on circuit boards when a pad wasn't needed.


I see that they now sell 0.05% as well:


Are you ****ting me.....
How can there be a tolerance for ZERO Ohms?
Zero IS Zero....

That's just plain silly.... LOL

Speaking of silly, next time you see someone wiring a light fixture or
lamp, ask them what the tolerance is for the wire they are using....

You will often see these used to jump a trace in SMD applications.

Here we go with those initials "SMD" again. I keep seeing that in posts
on here and elsewhere. So I better ask...
What the heck does SMD mean?

Sorry about not including the definition:

Surface Mounted Device
