Thanks. My data-sheets were from "Koa" and they seemed more inerested in dimensions and how nice and flat they were... So to use a 0-ohm to jump my BEC power-output from my ESC at 1A won't be any problem. Glad to hear that. This means that I managed to lay out a ESC with BEC on a single sided board :) I'm soo happy KreAture ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Blick" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [EE]: Max current in 0Ohm 1206 shunt? > Kyrre Aalerud said: > > I have a little layout problem that I might solve if I could be safe on > > the current-capabilities of a 0Ohm SMD shunt.
