There are some sellers on ebay who are selling assorted resistors in
quantity. Some of them claim these assortments contain 0 ohm
resistors.... WTF. Wouldn't that be a piece of wire?

What would be the point of that?

How would you even color code it?

used as jumpers when you don't have enough pcb layers.

Also designed for component insertion machines which can't really handle bare wire.

Can be used as "ID" links to enable/disable features on different runs
of a board.

So these things really *DO* exist???
I thought it was either a typo, or the webpage was made up by someone
who was clueless about electronics.

That seerms pretty goofy, but I do imagine some machines cant handle the
bare wires.....

I'm guessing they are just a piece of solid wire with a "shell" around
it.

Now, assuming they use a color code on them, what would it be?
I thought it would be Black - Black - Black, but that is actually ONE
OHM. (I always have a hard time comprehending that one).

So I cant imagine how to color code ZERO Ohms...

One black band around the middle is a common marking.

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

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

One ohm is brown, black, gold.

Zero ohm should be black, black, any.

Are you saying that approximately zero is good enough?

According to this chart (and others like it), One Ohm is black -black -
black...

They ca over pass a track without needing 2 vias.

Perhaps someone is sneaking "high temperature" (meaning ambient)
superconductors onto the market with no fanfare?

The really funny thing is you can buy them in 1% and 5% tolerance. I'm
betting that none of them are within tolerance though.

1% sur 0 ohms !!! Je ne vois pas
