Resistor Networks, Arrays, 4820P-1-470 application field and working principle

Resistor networks, also called resistor arrays, are a type of electromechanical component which is mainly used in low power, low current applications. This type of component has been used in various areas since the first practical application in the early 1900s. The 4820P-1-470 series of resistor networks is a popular set of these components developed and manufactured by Yageo Corporation. It is widely used in many areas due to its small size, high reliability, and excellent electrical characteristics.

A 4820P-1-470 resistor network is an eight-pin package with four different resistors and two capacitors attached to it. Each of the resistors has a value of 470 ohms, while the values of capacitors vary from 0.71 uF to 6.8 uF. The four resistors are connected in series or in parallel, and the two capacitors are connected across the series or parallel connections, depending on the required circuit configuration. This layout of components allows for a variety of different electrical characteristics and applications.

The 4820P-1-470 resistor network is used in a wide array of fields, such as audio and video equipment, medical devices, electronic toys, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics. It is also commonly used in power supply circuits, where it can provide filtering and voltage buffering. In applications where there is limited board space, the 4820P-1-470 is a very useful component because of its small size and high versatility. By using the various combinations of the resistors and capacitors, it can act as a voltage divider or current limiter for power circuits, or an active filter for signal circuits.

The working principle of a 4820P-1-470 resistor network is relatively simple. It is made up of four resistors and two capacitors, which are arranged in either a series or parallel connection. When a voltage is applied to the resistor network, the resistors and capacitors will act to reduce the voltage and/or current. This reduction in voltage and/or current will depend on the values of the resistors and capacitors as well as the type of connection used. In a series connection, the resistors will reduce the voltage, while in a parallel connection, the capacitors will reduce the current. By changing the values of the resistors and capacitors or the arrangement of the connection, the characteristics and performance of the resistor network can be altered.
