4420P-1-102

Resistor Networks, Arrays belong to a family of passive components which have significant resistance when the voltage is applied. This resistance helps to regulate the flow of current through the device. A network or array of resistors offer resistance in various combinations and can be used to accomplish different tasks. One of the more popular resistor networks is the 4420P-1-102.

The 4420P-1-102 is a two terminal device with eight individual resistors connected in parallel. It offers resistance of 20 ohms across all eight resistors. This makes it ideal for use in low-power electronics and high-current applications where the precise resistance is needed. This type of resistor is often found in computers, automotive electrical systems, and for several industrial applications.

The 4420P-1-102 is a fixed-value resistor network, where the precision of the individual resistors is guaranteed and has a tolerance rating limited to +-1%. This helps to ensure accuracy and uniformity throughout the application. The resistors are also hermetically sealed to protect them from ambient electrical influences and to help maintain a consistent resistance value.

The exact purpose of a resistor network is to keep a current flowing through a circuit. In most cases, the current is being applied in order to generate some kind of output. The 4420P-1-102 can be used to regulate this output and keep it within a certain level. For example, in an automotive application, the 4420P-1-102 can be used to regulate the amount of current sent to a motor or a fuel injector.

Another important application of the 4420P-1-102 is to protect other components from damage due to excessive current. When used in this way, the resistor acts as a permanent short which helps to prevent other components from being damaged due to a brief surge of current. This makes it a great choice for use in mobile devices and embedded systems where unexpected power or voltage fluctuations can occur.

In summary, the 4420P-1-102 is a two-terminal resistor network with eight resistors connected in parallel. It offers a precise resistance of 20 ohms and has a tolerance rating of +-1%. This makes it ideal for applications which require a consistent resistance to help regulate or protect other components. It is often found in a variety of electronics and automotive applications.
