Resistor networks and arrays are electronic components that are designed to combine multiple resistors into a single package. These components are commonly used in various electronic circuits and applications where multiple resistors are required in a small space. Resistor networks and arrays come in different configurations and types, including isolated and non-isolated networks, bussed and isolated bussed arrays, thick and thin film technologies, and more.

Isolated resistor networks and arrays consist of several isolated resistors that are enclosed in a single package. They are used in applications where separate biasing and matching of each resistor is required. Non-isolated resistor networks and arrays consist of resistors that share a common connection, and they are used in applications where multiple resistors are required for biasing or filtering.

Bussed resistor arrays are designed with a common connection between the resistors in a single package, which simplifies the wiring process and reduces the overall size of the circuit. Isolated bussed resistor arrays, on the other hand, offer the benefits of a bussed resistor array, but with the added isolation of the resistors from each other, which can be beneficial in certain applications.

Thick film resistor networks and arrays are made of a ceramic substrate on which a resistive film is deposited. Thin film resistor networks and arrays, on the other hand, are made by depositing a thin film of metal or metal oxide on a ceramic substrate. These technologies offer different performance characteristics, such as power handling, temperature coefficient, and noise performance.
