4114R-1-102LF

Resistor Networks, Arrays have a wide range of applications from basic in-circuit applications to complex circuits. One such example is the 4114R-1-102LF which is a surface mount, surface mount, non-contact resistor array. It is designed to provide power and cooling needs in various electronic systems.

The 4114R-1-102LF is a quad-array that consists of four independent resistors. Each resistor has a nominal value of 1 ohm, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications where a low resistance is desired. The resistors are arranged in a four-terminal configuration with a single lead-frame for mounting and integration into circuit boards. The terminals are arranged in a circle with two outputs on each side of the circle.

The 4114R-1-102LF is primarily used in power supply designs as an efficient and reliable source of current to power electronic devices. It can also be used to provide current regulation and thermal management in high power applications. The resistor array is especially useful in automotive systems, where its broad temperature range makes it an ideal choice. The array\'s wide temperature range ensures that the resistors can operate in extreme temperatures without significant loss in current limit or reliability.

The 4114R-1-102LF operates on the principle of self-heating. When current passes through the resistor array, some of the heat generated by the current will be dissipated into the air. This heat energy is then used to control the current flow through the resistors by creating thermal resistance. Thus, the resistors of the 4114R-1-102LF can adjust the current flow to maintain a constant output level, providing reliable current regulation and thermal management.

The 4114R-1-102LF is also designed to provide superior thermal performance. Its quad-array configuration allows it to dissipate heat more efficiently and at a higher rate than single resistors. This allows the 4114R-1-102LF to operate at higher temperatures for a longer period of time without experiencing significant temperature increases, which can cause damage to sensitive components.

The 4114R-1-102LF is an excellent choice for power supply designs, automotive systems, and other high current applications. Its quad-array design and self-heating principle provide efficient current regulation and thermal management for reliable performance. The wide temperature range of the 4114R-1-102LF ensures that it can operate in a variety of extreme environmental conditions without sacrificing reliability or performance.
