Wattage

Posted by Awe-d-o-file (D) on June 1, 2015 at 14:22:36

This schematic is all I have for my RC-2 amp. I assume all the resistors are 1/2 watt except as noted, it doesn't say. What voltage would you get 400 or more? Damn Mouser can make searching for parts really a pain. I just searched "4.7K ohm 1/2 watt" and got all kinds of bull shit mostly resistors that were not 4.7K ohm.

Then I searched Resistor> through hole > and used their filter for 4.7K ohm, 1/2 watt, 5% tolerance and still got results that included 1/4 watt resistors. Geez!

Now looking at all the results for 4.7K 1/2 watt none are rated higher than 350 volts, many just 200 volts. I'd think I'd want resistors rated for 400V minimum which will eliminate metal film. Carbon film seems rated at 400V. Carbon comps are 350 volts. That they have anyway.

Thanks in advance
