Incorrect statement?[edit]

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)[reply]

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

Useful Information[edit]

a nice conversation on this topic (especially at the last message) http://www.edaboard.com/thread24453.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.254.223.76 (talk) 14:55, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Design considerations[edit]

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)[reply]
