"I just received some 10 megohm resistors for the MMC I am building but I accidentally ordered .25 watt instead of .50 are they of any use?"


Bart Anderson replied:
"They will work, but the only problem I have is distance from end to
end. If it were me, I'd just try it. If you begin to get arcing
across resistors, well, then replace them."

Matthew asks:

If the distance is an issue, would treating the assembly with a decent conformal coating help matters?
