Working Principle

The 4114R-2-223 resistors operate according to the voltage divider principle. When a voltage is applied across the entire network, it is divided among the different resistors within the network. The resistance in each channel affects the total resistance of the circuit and therefore the voltage that is applied to the resistor. The voltage across each resistor is proportional to the resistance of the resistor in that channel. The total resistance of the network can be changed by altering the resistance of each resistor in the circuit, which can be done by using different resistance values in each channel. This enables the user to choose the appropriate resistance for various applications.
