Hey,
In my product, there's a resistor which there's a 0.03W applied on it constantly (its part of a voltage divider that is fed from the AC mains).
Up to now, I used a resistor which its power rating was 1.25W.
Now, I'd like to pick a resistor with smaller dimensions.
Will a resistor which is 0.06W rated, work fine?
My fear derives from the fact that this resistor constatnly consumes 0.03W, 365 days a year.
Thanks a lot.
PS
I'm using thick film SMD resistors.
