4610M-104-151/121L

The 4610M-104-151/121L is a part of a larger series of resistor networks and arrays manufactured by Ohmite and used for a variety of applications. An array is a group of resistors connected together in a specific manner to perform a specific task. Ohmite\'s array of resistors, the 4610M-104, are all designed with a common purpose: to provide constant and very low ohmic resistance values for use in applications such as in sensing technologies, control systems, and analog signals.

The 4610M-104-151/121L is a 40-pin array of precision resistors designed to provide low ohmic values over a wide temperature range. The resistors each have an individual rated resistance value of 4.6K-Ohms, and when connected in parallel, they provide a total value of 2.1K-Ohms. The actual resistance is lower than this and is dependent on the total number of resistors in the array.

The specific purpose of the 4610M-104-151/121L is to provide precise resistive values in a very small package. The array is also designed to be very low power with an estimated power rating of only 0.0004W per resistor in the array. This makes it ideal for use in applications where higher power consumption can be a problem such as those used in automotive or aerospace systems.

In terms of its application field, the 4610M-104-151/121L can be used to control currents in electrical circuits, both analog and digital. Its low resistance values make it suitable for use in current-limiting and noise-reducing applications where high frequency noise must be controlled and voltage spikes minimized. By connecting two or more of the resistors in series, the total resistance value can be increased, adding further control capabilities to the circuit.

The 4610M-104-151/121L can also be used in analogue circuits to provide a stable voltage reference. By connecting resistors in a bridge configuration, the voltage across the resistors will remain constant, no matter how much current is drawn from the circuit. The low power consumption also means that the voltage reference can be regulated over a wide temperature range without significant power losses.

In terms of its working principle, the 4610M-104-151/121L relies on Ohm\'s law to provide precise resistive values. Ohm\'s law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (V) applied across it. The resistance (R) of the conductor is inversely proportional to the current, so by using a greater number of resistors, the resistance of the overall circuit can be decreased.

The individual resistors in the 4610M-104-151/121L are connected in parallel so that the total resistance is equal to the inverse of the sum of the resistors\' individual resistances. This means that by adding more resistors to the array, the total resistance can be decreased. By varying the individual resistance values, a wide range of total resistance values can be achieved, enabling the circuit to be tailored to specific requirements.

The 4610M-104-151/121L is a reliable, economical, and accurate resistor array that is ideal for use in a variety of applications. Its low power consumption, wide temperature range, and precise resistance values make it suitable for a range of sensing and control applications including those used in automotive and aerospace systems.
