So, I’m working on a project and have run in to a component I am unfamiliar with. It is a 0 ohm resistor, in an unusual surface mount size, which is usually not a problem. In this case, though, it passes under a shielding can, and has in addition to the two ends where it solders to the PCB ala MELF, it also has a rectangular center section which is soldered to the unmasked pour directly under the can. It is some sort of noise isolation grounding whatever it seems. If anyone has seen these before help would be greatly appreciated. In the attached pic they are the little bastards to each side of the optocouplers. The cans have been removed so they can be seen.
