Resistor on Terminal Block - No wires needed

[drathak]

I need to show a resistor that is mounted between a pair of terminals, but there don't need to be any "wires" for this connection.  The resistor leads will be crimped with ring terminals and screwed down on the terminal block. (See attached images.)

What would be the best way to go about this?  Something with the TSE and jumpers. maybe?

We have to do something similar for some projects here. I tend to use two terminals and a resistor running between them.

I just clear any assigned wire number between the terminals and the resistor and set the terminal strip ID to indicate that it's for the resistors only.

You may have to do a footprint for the resistor but other than that, it's fairly straight forward. Use the TSE to insert the terminals and then the footprint insert to add the resistor and you are done with the footprint.

For the schematic, just two terminals with a wire between them and add the resistor on that wire.

That is essentially the same as I have now.  There are still wires that aren't there.  I guess I might just be overthinking this.  After all, it isn't like I'm counting the wires at that level. 

Thanks!
