So in another thread I was led to measure (using 4-wire) the resistance of a 0Ω through hole "resistor". I got 17mΩ across the resistor body, and about 5mΩ for each lead. @Ian0 mentioned he was using a 10mΩ sense resistor, which is of course, about what leads are in my case.
I decided to dig up a datasheet... So, there isn't a separate one for the 0Ω links in the various resistor series, but, you can get them in various tolerances (!) and a carbon film or metal film.
What?
I can only assume that's to make them match the other resistor in the same product line... right?
What is a tolerance for 0Ω? Is the 1% closer to 0 than the 5%? Does it ever go below zero by some percentage? If so, can we sort those out and use them as magic amplifiers?
Questions must be answered!
