Talk:Zero-ohm link

Incorrect statement?
Shouldn't it be "zero" instead of "infinite" in the following part of the article?


 * ... a fractional tolerance (as a percentage of the zero-ohm ideal value) would be infinite ...

 * I have changed it to "zero". Please step forward if you disagree. --Mortense (talk) 10:29, 30 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Say the value is between $$x-\delta$$ and $$x+\delta$$. The tolerance is then $$\delta/x$$. In the case of a zero ohm resistor the tolerance is thus $$\delta/0=\infty$$.Bomazi (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Design considerations
The "Design considerations" sections reads like a howto and is missing sources. I'm suspecting this is original research and the need to route high current (around/above 10 A or so) through a zero ohm link is probably quite rare and at least not typical for most electronics. I suspect that at this point the quality of the soldering and surface/size of pads and so on has a much higher impact than the supposed resistance of a zero ohm link. In any case, these dubious claims should be well sourced or I'd vote to remove them. -- Jonathan Haas (talk) 07:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
