Thick film vs thin film?
I was doing some parts shopping last night for SMD 10k "jelly beans" as people call them - and I have a questions. Why would you choose thin film over thick film? Are their different advantages to both?

Thin film resistors have lower noise, lower tempco, and can achieve higher tolerance.

I use these in precision applications - test circuits mostly.
