We got a call from a customer the other day who asked if we would put
together some Fusible resistor sets for (TV) repair shops.

We're a component supplier that specialises in selling sets of components
e.g. resistors, capacitors, SMDS etc, the idea being that it a much easier
way to stock the bench-top. From what he was saying, a kit of fusible
resistors might go down quite well, especially because apparently minimum
order quantities make these components expensive (at least in the UK)

I wondered if you guys might have any thoughts about which values /
wattages
/ packages are most commonly required when repairing equipment, and what
characteristics (if any) we should pay special attention to. I noticed
that
some suppliers offer these upto 10k - surely they're most useful in lower
voltages. Do values adhere to any particular E-series?

We were proposing to put together a set to sell for around £10 / $18 with
as
wide a range of values as possible...

Thanks, Tom.

That would be easier than re-using fusible resistors, or at least
silk screen marked safety resistors, from soon to be scrapped boards.
