Is that a common failure mode? I know caps pop willy nilly. And protection diods. But resistors?
- bearbin 6y agoElectrical failure is relatively rare, but resistors are just as susceptible to mechanical and liquid damage, which is probably a more common failure than electrical degradation. Or a failure could cascade from another component and pop the resistor too.
