The part number **898-1-R330F** refers to a specific type of passive electronic component: a **Thick Film Resistor Network** manufactured by **BI Technologies** (a brand under TT Electronics). ### Component Breakdown The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its electrical and physical characteristics: | Code Segment | Meaning | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **898** | Model Series | 16-pin Dual-In-Line Package (DIP) | | **-1** | Circuit Type | Isolated Resistor Network (8 independent resistors) | | **R** | Resistance Unit | Standard indicator for Ohms ($\Omega$) | | **330** | Resistance Value | 330 Ohms | | **F** | Tolerance | $\pm 1\%$ (High Precision) | --- ### Key Technical Specifications Below are the typical specifications for the 898 series resistor networks: * **Package Type:** 16-Pin DIP (Through-hole mounting). * **Circuit Configuration:** **Isolated.** This means there are 8 separate resistors inside the chip, each with its own pair of pins (Pin 1 to 16, Pin 2 to 15, etc.). They do not share a common bus. * **Power Rating:** Typically 0.125 Watts per resistor at 70°C. * **Maximum Operating Voltage:** 100V. * **Temperature Coefficient (TCR):** $\pm 100 \text{ ppm/}^\circ\text{C}$. * **Operating Temperature Range:** $-55^\circ\text{C}$ to $+125^\circ\text{C}$. --- ### Common Applications Because this part contains multiple precision resistors in a single compact package, it is used to save board space and improve reliability in the following scenarios: 1. **Line Termination:** Matching impedance for high-speed data lines to prevent signal reflections. 2. **Current Limiting:** Used for banks of LEDs where each LED requires an individual 330$\Omega$ resistor. 3. **Pull-up/Pull-down Resistors:** Used in digital logic circuits (though "Bussed" versions are more common for this, "Isolated" versions allow for different voltage rails). 4. **Gain Setting:** Used in operational amplifier circuits where matched resistor values are critical. --- ### Internal Schematic (Isolated) In an isolated configuration like the **-1** variant, the pins are mapped as follows: ```text Pin 1 ---[ 330Ω ]--- Pin 16 Pin 2 ---[ 330Ω ]--- Pin 15 Pin 3 ---[ 330Ω ]--- Pin 14 ... and so on up to ... Pin 8 ---[ 330Ω ]--- Pin 9 ```
