MNR14ERAPJ160

MNR14ERAPJ160 is a Resistor Network, Arrays component, which is a 4-terminal device composed of multiple resistors. Its name stands for Meitokei National Resistor 14 elements resistor array with pin pitch 1.60 mm. This kind of devices may be used in almost all applications, including precision voltage dividing, impedance matching or attenuating, sensing, current limiting and signal filtering.

Application field

MNR14ERAPJ160 is mainly used in instrumentation equipments and other precision measurement equipments. It can provide a highly accurate, rapid adjustment chip with ready-made networks for various types of applications. Its density and accuracy performance make it best suited for precision control of AC, DC, and pulsating signals, as well as for calibration, compensation, protection, current limiting, gain control, and signal filtering. It is also used in automatic test systems, medical instrumentation and an array of RF Circuit applications.

Working Principle

The general operation principle of resistor array is mutual connection of several resistors in series or in parallel, according to specific requirements. When used in applications requiring less than full range voltage adjustment capability, several resistors are connected in series, forming a voltage divider; while in applications demanding up to full range current adjustment, all resistors are connected in parallel, forming a common load. Handling capabilities and accuracy rate of voltage or current adjustment are depended on number of pin and type of their arrangement.

MNR14ERAPJ160, as a 4-terminal network, is composed of 14 different resistors. For example, if the total resistance of the array needs to be 120 Ohm, a resistor value of 40 Ohm can be selected as R1-R14 by combining 14 resistors of 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 & 25 molecules. This design makes full use of the availability of different resistor values, matching the required voltage or current, thus achieves the best accuracy.
