1/8 watt resistors?

[ryugu]

I received an order from Mouser for some odd ball resistor values. I needed a 9.1K resistor for a Danae build, but it appears Mouser sent me a 1/8w resistor even though it's labeled "1/4w". It is tiny, about half the size of the 1/4w we all use. Should I go ahead and use this 1/8w resistor or should I just use a 10k?

It could very well be 1/4W, but even still, 1/8W is perfectly fine.

Thanks.

Royalohm, the main supplier of resistors used by Tayda, has a series of 1/8w sized 1/4w resistors.

I can't remember who, but at least one builder on the forum uses 1/8w resistors for all builds — gives the builder a lower thermal-noise floor or something like that IIRC.
