Never expected to find mislabeled parts, because I'd never seen it from Vishay (via Mouser). I did it to match the resistors of the left and right channels of a headphone amp that I'm about to build.
Ha! I've used TE Connectivity branded resistors that were made in India. They were actually quite good, though they looked hand made. And they were. I'll put up a picture later when I get home.
They were on the line output of an amp that I built.
I think it's a mislabeled part. I would expect a counterfeit part to be off-spec by a couple of percentage points, but not that far off.
My goodness, what kind of nerd am I to be all excited about a weird resistor.
I have confirmed it with another multimeter. The cheapo meter was handy when I took the picture. I've been using Vishay RN resistors for years and had never come across anything like this. I got more resistors coming from Mouser. I'm keeping this unicorn for my collection.
Checking resistors for an upcoming headphone amp build and came across this:
Never seen a Vishay resistor mislabeled or this far off. Please no comments on the shi**y multimeter. :D
