spleblem Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 hey guys is there any point to a zero ohm resistor :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\thanx spleblem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 It acts like a small inductor in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 A zero ohm resistor is a jumper wire for a pcb that can be installed by the same machine that installs resistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 :)a super conductor isent that suposed to be zero ohms , and i supose if ya take a resister out ya have no ohms at all so hence the zero ohms hmm ill leave that to audio guru, him exspert in the electronics feild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Zero ohm? All wire has some resistance. You can look at a zero ohm resistor as a value with not enough resolution. Add the decimals places and you would have some small value there.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 What I know is, some products keep a resistor footprint for adding EMC components for Lab test while they will use a 0ohm resistor for shipment product...... what for...... reduce cost :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windoze killa Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 We use 0 ohm SMD resistors all the time. They are mainly used as links. We design the boards so there are different configurations available. The resistors are placed to select different options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hello OK you got me where can you buy zero Ohm resistors, I think a jumper wire has more Ohms then zero. gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nanop Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi, I've seen jumpers inside TVs before soldered right along with resistors. R they those staple looking things? ???What are they used for?What are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windoze killa Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 It acts like a small inductor in some cases.I missed this post before. Not quite sure hore you can make this statement. A small chip of metal film with 0 ohms would have such an insignificant inductance it would be useless. About the only way I could see this happening is if it was a wire wound 0 ohm resistor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulis Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Actually, wire wound resistors do have inductance. As far a wire, it's about 20nH/inch.Yup... zero ohm jumpers can be/are used for configuring different options. They are also used a as "bridge". When you have to keep cost's down, manufacturers use them to avoid having to go to a double sided PCB. A few "jumpers" are a LOT cheaper than drilled plated via's on a multi-layer PCB (as in double sided and up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
