CAY16-131J4LF

Resistor Networks, Arrays play an important role in many electronic systems. As part of an efficient circuit design, different resistor networks are used to serve different purposes. In this article, the application fields and working principle of CAY16-131J4LF will be discussed in detail.

The CAY16-131J4LF is a 16-pin bracket-type surface mounting resistor network, belonging to the “SIP series” of surface mounting resistor networks, which are most commonly used in many electronic circuits. It is composed of 8 isolated resistors and 2 terminals, allowing a variety of connection options and reliable connection consistency configurations.

The CAY16-131J4LF has a power rating of 1/4 watt and is suitable for use in circuits with a voltage of 150 volts or less. It has an excellent rated stability with a total resistance of 1,000 ohms, and several different value sets are available for different circuit configurations. Additionally, it features low level mounting tips that ensure uniformity and reliable solder joint strength.

As for its application field, the CAY16-131J4LF is mainly used in circuits requiring a large number of resistors in a small space. Such circuits include those for home appliances, small ECUs, automotive equipment, LED drivers, industrial equipment, and medical equipment. It is the perfect solution for complex circuit operations because of its small size and ability to ensure reliable connection consistency.

Regarding its working principle, the CAY16-131J4LF is a resistor network consisting of 8 isolated resistors connected in parallel with two terminals. The terminals are connected at the same point, and since the resistance of each resistor is the same, the total resistance of the resistor network is equal to the value of one isolated resistor. For example, if the resistance of each resistor is 100 ohms, the total resistance of the resistor network will be 100 ohms. Since each isolated resistor can handle higher current than a normal single resistor, the CAY16-131J4LF can offer higher current ratings than single resistors.

The CAY16-131J4LF is a reliable and efficient surface-mounting resistor network, ideally suited for use in various types of circuits requiring multiple resistors in a compact package. Its excellent electrical attributes make it an ideal choice for use in a wide range of applications. Thanks to the convenience of surface mounting, it is also very easy to install and maintain.
