AF122-FR-0743RL

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The AF122-FR-0743RL, a resistor network, is one of many types available, each used for a certain purpose. They allow users to combine resistors into one package, offering versatility and cost savings.

Application Field

Resistor networks are used for many applications, such as feedback circuits, signal clipping, scaling, and impedance matching. They are also used in logic circuits for transistor logic gates and to match impedances in audio and video circuits.

In some applications, separate resistors may be preferable to a resistor network. These applications include low-noise, high-precision or operation over a wide range of temperatures, when accuracy is critical. In other lives, a resistor network may be more economical and efficient than individual resistors.

Working Principle

The AF122-FR-0743RL is a resistor network made by combining resistors into a single package. It has a total of two resistors, one with a value of 2 Ohms and another with a value of 1.5 Ohms. When these resistors are combined in one package, they are connected in parallel. This configuration results in a total resistance of 1.25 Ohms.

These resistors are connected to two terminals, with each one receiving a voltage. The total resistance of the network will limit the current flowing through it, by the formula I = V/R. This concept can be extended to complex networks, where the total resistance will be a combination of the resistors used.

Advantages

In comparison to discrete resistors, the AF122-FR-0743RL offers several advantages. First, it requires less space and is easier to install, since multiple resistors are combined in a single package. This can result in savings in space, time and cost.

Second, the combination of resistors into a single package adds stability, since they will age differently due to the environmental conditions. Third, resistor networks are more precise and accurate than separate resistors, and can offer improved performance in critical applications. Finally, they can provide additional protection from environmental conditions such as vibration and temperature changes.

Conclusion

For many applications, resistor networks offer advantages compared to discrete resistors. The AF122-FR-0743RL is made up of two resistors connected in parallel, resulting in a total resistance of 1.25 Ohms. The combination of resistors into a single package can result in savings in space, time and cost, as well as improved performance in critical applications and better protection from environmental conditions.
