CAY16-560J4LF Resistors

Resistor Networks, Arrays are an essential part of modern electrical engineering as they are used to control current and voltage levels. The CAY16-560J4LF is a four-resistance network in a stacked SMT package, ideal for precise current sensing, or for replacing four discrete resistors with one device. This resistor array offers a reliabile and compact solution for many space-critical application fields.

The CAY16-560J4LF resistor network contains four resistors in a single, quad-compartment package. The fourresistors vary in resistance value from 0 ohms to 5.6k ohms. The device\'s parallell resistance provides a minimum of 15ohms. The network also offers a choice of three specified tolerances, ±0.25%, ±0.5%, and ±1%, so precision is available when required. Temperature coefficient of resistance is also a factor, with values from 25 ppm/°C to 50 ppm/°C.

The application fields of CAY16-560J4LF resistor network include current sensing, relay drivers, gate drivers, audio line matching, and power supplies. In a current sensing or relay driver application, the device \'s fixed output resistance can compensate for losses in the output circuit. In an audio line matching application, a resistor network is generally required to match the input and output impedance of different components, while in power supplies, a resistor network is used for voltage regulation and limiting of current.

The working principle of CAY16-560J4LF resistor network is straightforward. The unit is connected in series on the circuit board, allowing the network to control current and voltage levels. The total resistance of the network is equal to the sum of the four internal resistors. Depending on the application, the network\'s total resistance and individual resistor values can be altered to suit the desired current and voltage level.

The CAY16-560J4LF resistor network is a reliable and space-saving solution for wide range of applications, including current sensing, relay drivers, gate drivers, audio line matching, and power supplies. Due to its wide range of resistance and precision tolerances, this resistor array provides an accuracy and stability that is much greater than what can be achieved with individual resistors.
