tempco of 5% carbon film resistors

[macdonald at evenfall.com]

None of the catalogs that I order from listed the temperature coefficients
of plain old 5% carbon film resistors so I went on a search to find out
what they might be.

Xicon says theirs are rated at 0 to -700 ppm per degree Celsius for
resistor values from 100k to 1 meg.  Okay for many uses I guess but maybe
not so great for trying to build a temperature stable VCO.

Here's the link I used:

click on the "CF" link to get the 5% carbon film PDF file.

Hope this is useful or interesting for someone,
