CAT16-1001F4LF Resistors

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The CAT16-1001F4LF is a standard Through-hole resistor network comprising 16 individual, 2-terminal, surface mount chip resistors. It is designed for applications requiring precision resistors in an integrated assembly.

This type of resistor network utilizes a combination of individual, surface mount chip resistors connected together to form a single device. The connection between the positive and negative terminals is through two sections of PCB trace. This arrangement provides a highly stable, low impedance, distributed resistor network.

The CAT16-1001F4LF has an operating temperature range from −40°C to 150°C. The 16 individual resistors have a 2-pin terminal spacing of 0.50 mm. The resistor network is designed to be used as a multi-stage, voltage divider, with a resistance of 1.0 kohms. The individual resistors have a tolerance of 5%. The resistance tolerance of the completed network is 4%, ensuring accuracy and stability over wide temperature ranges. This makes the CAT16-1001F4LF an ideal choice for low-noise, precision applications.

The working principle of a resistor network is based on the basic principles of electrical engineering. The resistors all act as independent resistors, each providing a portion of the total resistance. The individual resistors are connected in series so that the total resistance of the network is equal to the sum of the individual resistors’ resistances. By varying the value of each resistor, the total resistance of the network can be adjusted to provide precisely the desired resistance or voltage drop.

The CAT16-1001F4LF is a versatile, low-profile resistor network primarily targeted at precision analog and digital applications such as audio processing, error correction, sensor based control, signal conditioning, and automatic test equipment. It is also suitable for automotive and military applications requiring stringent temperature range, precision, and reliability requirements.

In conclusion, the CAT16-1001F4LF resistor network is an ideal solution for providing precise resistor values, as well as low-noise, reliable operation in an integrated assembly. It is a highly versatile, reliable device that is well-suited for both analog and digital precision applications.
