Hi All !

I hope ye are keeping well !

I have recently received a board for my electronics hobby and some of the outer film on the PTH resistors seem to be chipped. The metal casing underneath is showing.

I assume the resistors are not populated into the board in this condition. I assume it has something to do soldering process?

Does anyone know why and how it could happen please?

Thanks in advance,

Noel.
