I had a few 5% 1/4W carbon film resistors blow up on me during my lifetime and i have always replaced them with the same type. Now i am wondering if metal film resistors could be used to replace them in sensitive circuits like switched-mode power supplies.
I understand that metal film has better reliability with age and less noise and 1% tolerance, are any of these elements going to introduce any issues though?
To sum it up, is there any advantage to using metal film resistors over a carbon film in PSU's?
