How to Mount a Resistor

I added a new page to cover some issues and things to consider when mounting a resistor to a Printed Wiring Board; as Resistor Mounting. This new page compliments a number of other resistor related pages including Resistor Lead Length, and the dictionary entry on Resistor Mounting Considerations.

Most of the PCB mounting issues should deal with through hole resistors and not surface mount resistors, but I'm not done writing the page yet. In most cases mounting issues for surface mount resistors is provided in the data sheet, which isn't true for through hole resistors. There are just to many ways to mount through hole resistors to include all the different variations in the data sheet.

I'll keep working a bit on the page today and then get back to it on the next time working that section of the web site.
