Working Principle

The RN60C4871BBSL resistor is based on a process known as thick-film technology. This technology involves applying a layer of conductive binder material to a ceramic substrate using screen printing and firing at high temperatures. The thickness of the film is typically between 0.05mm and 0.3mm and is deposited in layers to achieve the desired resistance value. The resistor package itself consists of four terminal leads, and the resistor element itself is housed inside the sealed package. The circuit design for this resistor is relatively simple and easy to understand due to its simple bridge circuit construction. The resistor is placed in between a positive and negative voltage, and current flows through the resistor creating a “voltage drop”, which is proportional to the resistance of the resistor in ohms. By varying the resistance of the resistor, the voltage drop can be adjusted accordingly.
