Hi Adrian

The simple answer is that I don't know if they will 'cook' or not! I tried to work out the power that would be dissipated from a study of the circuit and often found it was nowhere near the capability of the resistor.

The attached pic shows my other 'new' components including new 'dog bones' made for the marker receiver. None run hot and I've had the unit working for hours on end.

But, it depends on the dissipation that each circuit demands. It is probable that the leads provide a cooling path and you can't eliminate the plastic as a means of heat loss too.


Cheers
James
