I had the experience of looking at a circuit board with a resistormarked 50G, indicating 50,000 Megohms. One of the resistor leads wasmounted on a teflon pad since the resistance of the board wouldprobably be a good portion of 50 Gigs.Any idea what application would make use of a resistor so high?-Bill

To work with small currents, of course. I have resistors to 1T in my inventory. When using these I find that air is better than teflon. Sometimes one has to replace the resistor with a capacitor, if you get my drift.-- Thanks, - Win

50 Gigohm Resistor?

Yes; Kodak Photo Resist. Their developer was not too efficent and was a bit costly; TCE worked a lot faster and better.

it.

Thank you, Eric. There are a lot of veterans who were never recognized for the time they served their country, and their chance of dying while serving their country. Most were honest, hard working young men and women who could have spent that time going to school, or starting a career but they felt duty bound to serve, first. Not all service people see combat, but there are a lot of other dangerous jobs around military bases.

Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I\'ve got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida
