Thread: Does TCSS sell Metal Film resistors or Carbon Film resistors?

  1. #1

    Default Does TCSS sell Metal Film resistors or Carbon Film resistors?

    I was just rereading the NBv4 Manual and on page 12 they recommend using Carbon film resistors and warn not to use metal Film resistors. Since I bought all my resistors from TCSS, I don't know if they are metal or carbon film. Can anybody let me know which type they are?

    Thanks in Advance

    They are ceramic. Carbon film youd get at a special place like Radio Shack or Digi-key or similar.

    We have a mix and it doesn't matter.. I questioned it as I could find no reason not to use metal film and this was Erv's response.
