Working Principle of 4608X-102-105LF

The unique design of the 4608X-102-105LF is based on a series of tiny, low-ohm resistors in an 8-pin configuration. Each resistor is placed in series, forming an array of up to 120 individual resistors in a single package. This configuration allows for high power-handling capabilities and improves the performance of the network in comparison to other designs. Additionally, the 4608X-102-105LF also features a low temperature coefficient, which is beneficial for applications that require precise measurements.

The integration of a power shunt into the design of the 4608X-102-105LF further enhances its performance. The shunt is placed at the center of the network, providing an additional line of defense should one of the resistors become shorted. The combination of the power shunt and the wide range of resistors offers superior protection from overloading and increases the life of the network.

Bourns’s 4608X-102-105LF provides superior power handling in space-limited applications, making it the ideal choice for a variety of applications. With its low temperature coefficient, low on-resistance,and power shunt protection, the 4608X-102-105LF is an excellent choice for precise signal processing and increased power conversion efficiencies.
