What is preferred about carbon comp? Given the heat and the need
for long term stability in value they're the least suitable
component you could choose.
Some years ago I measured some different suppressors(results in a
posting on 30 Aug 06), subsequently I swapped the carbon comp
resistors for MOX on a couple of them, and couldn't measure the
difference. Whenever I measure 2 or 3W MOX resistors in the 20-100
ohms range, the inductance is in the regions of 2-3nH, which has
minimal impact in a suppressor. Inductance is higher in the 5W
ones I've tried.
