  • Ferromagnetic resistor leads vs. copper leads - may this effect things in frontend of PI detector?

    Some of my resistors legs stick to a magnet very strongly, most don't.

    Looked at datasheets, for example one manufacturer has tinned copper and
    another tinned steel for the leads. Not all are created equal it seems.

    I do love detecting but I'm not a friend of iron, at least in most areas I am beeping.

    What may be silly, but has me wondering is if this might have effects
    on incoming signals in a PI - frontend. For example the damping resistor, the 1k
    resistor leading to the 5534 and possibly offset & gain resistors.

    I only have the iron ones for the 1M resistor, so can't try the difference &
    only copper leads on 1k and damping resistors.

    Has anyone ever checked their resistor leads magnetically or maybe found out if there may be a difference.

    Thanks for your patience ...
Working...
