4814P-850-001LF

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The 4814P-850-001LF is an application field and working principle which encompasses the use of resistor networks and arrays. The 4814P-850-001LF is employed to create simple and complex frameworks of resistors which are then used to control and regulate the flow of electricity. A resistor network typically contains a series of resistors in a pattern that is designed to modify the current or voltage applied to a circuit. These resistor networks can consist of a single resistor in series with other resistors in parallel, or can be more complex circuit constructs containing several series and parallel resistors.

The 4814P-850-001LF offers versatility and range, with its ability to support networks consisting of up to 500 individually addressable resistors. Each of the 500 resistors in the network can be independently configured for any specific resistance value, allowing for a great deal of customization when it comes to controlling the flow of electricity. The ready-made and pre-tested resistor networks of the 4814P-850-001LF provide a cost effective and efficient solution for a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications.

The simplest use for a resistor network relies on a single resistor in series with other resistors in parallel, typically referred to as a “Voltage Divider”. The resistor network can be configured to divide the input voltage into any number of precisely controlled sectors; this is essential when voltage levels must be kept within certain parameters. Voltage dividers can also be used as current limiters permitting a protective mechanism that will be initiated when the current exceeds a predetermined level, thus preventing any potential damage to expensive electronic components.

More complex industrial applications require additional capabilities, such as the use of multi-level resistor networks with up to ten switching stages. Such networks permit far more intricate customizations to be made to the control of the voltage; by taking into consideration the precise application requirements, the proper resistor networks can be developed. These resistor networks are typically linked to switches which are used to move the current from one level to the next, thus allowing for a much more precise control over the flow of electricity.

Another popular use for the 4814P-850-001LF resistor network and array is within proximity switch logic circuits. These circuits are designed for automated control and often employ a range of resistance values across various fixed and adjustable resistors. Contacts are then made between the resistors, setting up a particular resistance in the circuit which will be used as a reference for the logic controlling the switch. These proximity switch based circuits are designed for a variety of different uses including positioning and speed sensors, motor control sequencing, and lockout protection.

The 4814P-850-001LF range of resistor networks and arrays are an essential part of any industrial or consumer-level application, providing a highly reliable and cost effective solution for a broad range of needs. With its ability to be tailored to any given situation, the 4814P-850-001LF provides a great platform for precision control of electricity in a variety of ways.
