Resistor opinion

I just received a package from Mouser. It was mostly the resistors to complete my latest project. I decided to try Vishay/Beyschlag MBB 0207 series for the first time and found all but 2 values I needed. Ordered 11 various varieties MBBs and 2 values of Xicons.

Measuring the resistors still on their reel tape before soldering, ALL the Beyschlag measured open. The Xicons measured to spec.

WTF. Is this a common occurrence with Beyschlag?

This is odd. I recently bought a couple of hundred Beyschlag 0207 resistors in various resistances from Mouser. I just tested them all (easy with a fixture) and they’re all spot on.

Edit: Oops, I read MBB as MMB (1W MELF SMD). My resistors aren’t the same as yours!
