Good Morning All,

        We have a carbon film resistor with a pin hole in the insulating
material.  We have looked under a microscope and visibly cannot see anything
that resembles the metallic element.  Our customer says if there is a hole
in the coating, the element is exposed.  We have sent samples out to be
analyzed, but, as of yet, have not heard anything.  We see these pin holes
occasionally (usually only one on a resistor).  This has never come up as as
issue before.  Can anyone shed some light on this subject?  Has this ever
been a problem for anyone else?

Thanks in advance for any input on this.

Connie Korth, K-Byte, Hibbing Manufacturing
