[Amps] Carbon Resistor Substitution

[alexeban]

You have to be careful!
The film resistors are formed by cutting a spiral groove in the metal film
to lengthen the path and obtain higher resistance. It looks something akin
to a wire wound resistor actually.
I think Vishay has a family of non inductive resistors, especially made for
RF work but I can't remember the power ratings.

Since A-B 2 Watt Carbon Resistors seem to be getting scarce,

I was wondering what the group thought of using Carbon Film

Resistors in VHF Suppressors instead ?

 

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ
