The CAY16-330J4LF from Bourns, Inc. is a surface mount resistor network array designed to provide four isolated 33-ohm resistors in a compact, space-saving configuration. This component belongs to the resistor networks and arrays category, offering an efficient solution for applications requiring multiple resistors with identical values while minimizing board real estate and simplifying assembly processes.
This resistor array addresses critical design challenges including PCB space optimization, component count reduction, and manufacturing efficiency. By integrating four separate resistors into a single 1206 (3.20mm x 1.60mm) package with convex long side terminals, it significantly reduces placement time and potential assembly errors compared to using individual discrete resistors. The isolated circuit type ensures that each resistor operates independently, providing design flexibility for various circuit configurations requiring separate signal paths or current limiting functions.
Key specifications include a resistance value of 33 ohms per element with ±5% tolerance, operating across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with a temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C. The device features 8 pins to accommodate the four resistor elements, with each element rated for 62.5mW power dissipation. The maximum seated height of 0.024 inches (0.60mm) makes it suitable for low-profile applications, and it comes in tape and reel packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly. The component is RoHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations.
Primary advantages include reduced PCB footprint compared to four discrete resistors, improved manufacturing efficiency through decreased component count, consistent matching characteristics between resistors due to monolithic construction, and enhanced reliability through reduced solder joints. The surface mount design facilitates automated assembly processes, while the isolated configuration provides maximum circuit design flexibility.
This resistor array is compatible with standard SMT assembly equipment and reflow soldering processes. It finds application in numerous areas including pull-up/pull-down resistor networks, LED current limiting circuits, signal termination, voltage divider networks, I/O port protection, bus termination, analog and digital circuit biasing, and general-purpose current limiting applications across consumer electronics, industrial controls, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and computing devices.
Equivalent and alternative models within the Bourns CAY16 series include various resistance values sharing the same package and configuration, while competing manufacturers offer comparable products such as the CTS/Resistor Products 742C series, Panasonic EXB-V8V series, Yageo YC164 series, and KOA Speer CN series, all providing similar 4-resistor isolated arrays in 1206 packages with varying resistance values and tolerances to suit different application requirements.
