How To Replace A Damaged SQP Cement Resistor For Power Supply?

As we all know, there is one electronic component that is very fragile, and that is the cement resistor, especially the SQP Cement resistor for power supply.

What should we do if it breaks? Below, WEET resistorfactory will tell you how to deal with it.

• Immediate action to take

  1. Cut off the power supply at once. A broken cement resistor, especially a SQP Cement resistor for power supply, is most likely open-circuited internally or has an incorrect resistance value. Continuing to use it may cause the power supply to burn out.

  2. Remove and discard it. Any resistor that is broken or cracked must not be reused, as it poses potential safety hazards.

• Can it be replaced directly?

  Yes. Just replace it with a new one that has exactly the same parameters: resistance value, power rating, and pin spacing. It is very important to choose qualified SQP Cement resistor for power supply for replacement to ensure circuit stability.

• Do we need to check other components?

  Absolutely yes. Cement resistors usually burn and break due to short circuits or overloads. You should first check whether transistors, rectifier diodes and capacitors are broken down before replacing the cement resistor.

CONCLUSION

How to avoid breakage again? Do not bend the pins forcibly or squeeze the resistor body during installation.

Avoid prolonged high-temperature soldering on the resistor shell, otherwise it will easily crack.
