4605X-101-183LF

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The 4605X-101-183LF has become a popular component in a wide range of applications. Designed and manufactured by Stackpole Electronics, Inc., this device is a resistor network that provides a versatile and convenient way for resistors to be connected. It has a number of features such as high power ratings, short-circuit tolerance, and wide temperature range that make it the ideal choice for many applications.

The 4605X-101-183LF has two basic types of resistors: thick-film resistors and thin-film resistors. Thick-film resistors are composed of mica or ceramic and feature good tolerance and high power ratings. They are typically used in applications where high current is required. Thin-film resistors are composed of a metal or a polymer and feature excellent tolerance and low power ratings. They are typically used in high-voltage applications.

The 4605X-101-183LF features five total resistors on one package. It has eighteen terminals and is capable of sourcing up to five amps, making it suitable for a wide variety of electronic applications. It is also designed to withstand surges up to eight amps, making it well-suited for applications requiring reliable over-current protection. The device is designed to fit a 0.1” (25.4 mm) land pattern and is UL recognized for safety.

In terms of working principles, it is incredibly simple. Each resistor is connected in series with two other resistors and the values of these resistors form what is referred to as a “resistor ladder.” As current is applied to the resistor ladder, the voltage across each resistor in the ladder is consistent. This device is the perfect choice for applications requiring a fixed voltage across each resistor in the ladder, which often happens in power distribution systems.

The 4605X-101-183LF is a popular choice for many applications because of its high power ratings, short-circuit tolerance, and wide temperature range. From replacing individual resistors in power distribution systems to providing reliable over-current protection for electronic devices, the 4605X-101-183LF is the perfect choice for a wide range of applications.
