Working Principle

The 4304M-102-471LF consists of two precision resistors, which are connected in series with a resistance R1 (1,000 ohms) and a resistance R2 (1K) that is connected in parallel with a resistance R3 (100 ohms). In the case of the 4304M-102-471LF, these resistors are placed on a ceramic substrate and then housed in a ceramic package. This creates a compact, low-cost, high-performance resistive network that offers superior performance and reliability. This combination of series and parallel resistors creates a low-impedance, low loss, high accuracy, and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) network.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The 4304M-102-471LF offers a number of advantages over traditional radial leaded and chip resistor networks. It has an excellent temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 0.1%, tight tolerances of 0.1% and 0.05%, and low temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC). Additionally, it offers excellent resistance stability over time and in variable operating conditions. It also has a wide range of resistance values from 10 ohms to 10M ohms.

The main disadvantage of the 4304M-102-471LF is its cost. As a more complex assembly it typically requires more expensive components and higher assembly costs than a basic discrete resistor network. Additionally, the 4304M-102-471LF is slightly larger in size than some of the other solutions.
