Title: lead length of carbon comp. resistors
Post by: dinkotom on March 10, 2009, 04:12:09 am

Hi all,
can anyone tell me how long are the leads on carbon composition resistors sold at Hoffman's? I'm planning to do some point to point wiring, I already bought some resistors elsewhere, leads are about 1 inch long and I'm not sure it will be enough.
Thanks,
Dinko.

I guess that they are Xicon CC's.
According to the datasheet lead length is 27.0 ±3 mm.

Yep, that's the ones I got.
