Resistor Networks, Arrays

The 4311R-101-390 Resistor Network is a potentiometer that controls the flow of electric current in circuits. It is widely used in industrial applications such as motor controllers, electronic relays, automation, industrial pumps, electric oven control systems, and residential audio amplifiers. It comes in a variety of configurations, allowing it to be used for a wide range of applications.

The 4311R-101-390 has a typical resistance range of 10-50 ohms. It is constructed of three or more solid-state wire wound resistors in parallel, connected in series with a variable resistor. It is an adjustable resistor with both linear and non-linear resistive elements. It has a higher power rating than many other adjustable resistors and can handle more power than a linear potentiometer.

The 4311R-101-390 works on the principle of varying resistance according to the amount of current or voltage applied to it. This allows it to be used as a voltage divider, current limiter, or as a switch in relays. When the resistor is in a linear state, its resistance will remain constant over its entire range. When the resistor is in a non-linear state, the resistance will vary depending on the amount of current or voltage applied.

It is also possible to use the 4311R-101-390 to control the speed of a motor or to vary the brightness of a light source. Depending on the number of parallel resistors used, the resistance range can be adjusted to suit the application. As the resistance changes, the motor or light source can be speed or dimmed accordingly.

The 4311R-101-390 is available in a variety of configurations including through hole, wire wound, surface mount, and power resistor networks. It is important to note that the type of resistor used will affect the specifications and performance of the product. It is therefore important to select the resistors that best suit the application.

The 4311R-101-390 is ideal for applications that require precise control over the amount of current or voltage required. It is a cost effective solution for controlling the power to various components, such as motors, relays, or lights, in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. The use of more than one resistor in the array further enhances the flexibility of the device by allowing for customised or multiple settings.

In summary, the 4311R-101-390 Resistor Network is a versatile and reliable device that can be used in a variety of applications. It is constructed with three or more resistors in parallel, connected in series with a variable resistor. This allows for adjustable current and voltage limits, which can be used to control the speed of a motor or to dimmable a light source. It is cost effective, reliable, and comes in a variety of configurations to suit the demands of different applications.
