Resistor Networks, Arrays

The 4608M-102-473LF is the code name for a axial leaded resistive network with eight resistors in an array. It is part of a larger family of resistive networks known as ResistorArray ^TM, which is a form of discrete component technology used in many different product applications, including telecommunications, military, consumer electronics, and computer systems.

Applications

The 4608M-102-473LF resistive network is used typically in hearing aid and other medical device applications. Its resistors are made of a special metal alloy that is designed to provide enhanced physical and electrical performance and reliability. In particular, this type of network is well suited to forming resistor networks that provide a measure of stability to a signal, while allowing for proper adjustment and accuracy. This type of resistor network is also used in various analog-to-digital converters, as well as many other electrical and electronic circuits.

Working principle

The 4608M-102-473LF resistive network consists of 8 resistors in an array configuration. Each resistor is configured to provide a certain level of resistance. This provides a fixed resistance that can be used to set characteristics, such as voltage, current, or power, for a device or circuit. The resistors in the array can be adjusted by changing the resistance value of each individual resistor. For example, to adjust the output voltage of a device or circuit, the resistor values in the array can be adjusted to match the desired output voltage.

In addition to its resistive characteristics, the 4608M-102-473LF resistive network also has its parasitic or nonlinear characteristics. This can be used to provide various types of protection and functions, such as ESD protection, EMC protection, and over voltage protection. It can also be used to provide an adjustment range to a signal, allowing a device or circuit to operate over a certain range of voltage or current levels.

Conclusion

The 4608M-102-473LF resistive network provides a number of advantages for product development and assembly. Its resistors can be set to meet specific resistance values, and the addition of parasitic components provides further customizability and functionality. This type of network is well suited for hearing aid, medical device, and other applications that require a stable and accurate signal, with the added benefit of protection and adjustment capabilities.
