50G ohm Retirement Fund
(1/8) > >>
pguerra75:
I was recently cleaning up shop in an electronics warehouse and came across an interesting find. A plastic bottle of approx. 26000 loose 50g Ohm 30% resistors (0805) package. I did some research and the cheapest I can find these things is around $2 at volume. So essentially I found $52000 worth of parts that almost no one will want. One can only laugh.  :-DD

Just thought this crowd might enjoy that.

I wonder what kind of PCB cleaning you would need to keep parallel leakage down for such a small package. Put guard traces around the pads? Mill a narrow slot under the resistor?

Rattling around in a bottle, you can be pretty certain that they are not 50 Gohm anymore.

I can't imagine what anyone would even want with such a part.

Yes, the customer base is limited, to say the least. Not where I'd put my retirement fund.
