Ah, I see.
Thanks, you`ve just made things clearer for me :) I would probably
have found the nswer to this by searching the internet, but here the
answers are usually swift and correct. ..and with me being a bit
lazy.. this was the preferred option :)
Yes, these resistors are of the exact same size as the 1/4w type..
so this would mean that I can continue to order cheap 0,6w resistors
for my future projects..
Great news :)
thanks a lot.
