First off, they are used as an "s-link" ...if you used wire to make the connection you would also need a wire-placing machine along with your smt placing machine - very expensive. Secondly, if a 0ohm resistor is used in a power circuit and there is a short, it will blow up almost instantaneously - very useful ...a cheap fuse :) BC _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-07-12 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
