4308R-102-821LF

Resistor networks, arrays are integrated in electronics to modify or affect current flow in a circuit. Resistors attached in series and parallel create complex networks. The 4308R-102-821LF is one such example of a resistor network. It is an 8 resistor array of chip size mini moulded pack which measure 5.08mm x 4.44mm x 1.57mm. It is rated for a power dissipation of 250mW, and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Application Field

The 4308R-102-821LF is ideal for a wide range of applications including noise suppression, line matching, power supplies, signal conditioning, and impedance matching. It is also proven to be an effective solution for mobile applications and consumer electronics with its small size and multiple resistors. This led to its use in the Aerospace and Military sectors, where compact size and portability is essential.

Working Principle

The 4308R-102-821LF is designed with resistor elements in a series and parallel arrangements. Each resistor element within a chip consists of two elements of different materials, which act as individual resistors when connected. In a series connection, the total resistance of the network is equal to the sum of the individual resistors, while in a parallel connection, the total resistance is equal to the inverse of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistors.

The 4308R-102-821LF has the capability to reduce noise and stabilize the voltage or current levels when a signal is passed through. By adjusting the resistance of each resistor element in the array, users are able to customize the behavior of the network, and control the flow of current. This further enhances the versatility of the resistor network.

The 4308R-102-821LF is an excellent example of a modern chip size resistor network, and is an effective solution to many specific problems pertaining to current and voltage levels.
