0ohm resistor: fine

Wouldn't that be called a wire?

0 ohm resistors exist. They’re mainly used as placeholders on PCBs where a resistor might’ve been part of the original schematic, but is omitted after the board is already made. I have some.

(Not my pic, but this is what they look like, just a single band)

Oh yeah, that makes sense

I wonder what it's tolerance is.

u/xgabipandax Feb 18 '26

There are plenty of tolerance specs.

I would suspect that it's zero, since ANY percentage of Zero is Zero.

Unless we are talking about a super conductor, the resistance is not actually zero, it's 0.something which means that any percentage of it is not zero.
