Vishay Dale CRA04S08320K0JTD 20K ohm 5% 0804 SMD Thick Film Resistor Array 4 Resistors 8-Pin 55 PCS NOS

Genuine Vishay Dale CRA04S08320K0JTD thick-film surface-mount resistor arrays featuring four independent 20K ohm resistors in a compact eight-terminal 0804 package. Each resistor element has a 5% tolerance and a 0.063W (approximately 1/16 watt) power rating.
These miniature resistor networks belong to Vishay's CRA04S series, designed to integrate multiple individual resistors into a single surface-mount component. The compact configuration reduces printed circuit board space, component count, and assembly complexity while providing four electrically isolated resistance elements.
Unlike common-terminal resistor networks, this isolated configuration provides independent connections to each resistor element, allowing engineers to incorporate multiple resistor functions into a compact circuit layout.
These components are useful for digital logic circuits, voltage dividers, pull-up and pull-down networks, signal conditioning, control electronics, communications equipment, industrial electronics, computer circuit boards, and component-level repair.

- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Vishay Intertechnology was founded in 1962 by Dr. Felix Zandman and Alfred P. Slaner in Pennsylvania. The company initially concentrated on precision resistive components and developed into a major international manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components.
Vishay expanded its resistor manufacturing capabilities through internal development and acquisitions, including the integration of Dale Electronics, an established American resistor manufacturer. The Vishay Dale name became associated with a broad range of fixed resistors, resistor networks, current sensing components, power resistors, and specialized resistive technologies used in industrial, commercial, communications, and military electronic equipment.
Dale Electronics played an important role in the development and production of reliable resistor components for electronic equipment requiring controlled resistance characteristics and dependable long-term performance. Its product families became widely used by electronics manufacturers, engineers, technicians, and maintenance organizations.
As electronic manufacturing advanced during the late twentieth century, surface-mount technology increasingly replaced traditional through-hole assembly methods. Circuit designers sought smaller components, higher mounting densities, reduced assembly costs, and improved compatibility with automated printed circuit board manufacturing.
Resistor networks became an important part of this transition. Rather than installing several individual resistors, manufacturers could integrate multiple resistive elements into a single compact component. This approach reduced the number of individual parts placed onto printed circuit boards and helped simplify automated assembly.
Thick-film resistor arrays were particularly useful because they combined relatively economical manufacturing with stable resistance characteristics and compact physical dimensions. These devices typically employ resistive films deposited onto ceramic substrates, with protective coatings and metallic terminations providing electrical connections.
Vishay developed the CRA series of thick-film chip resistor arrays to support densely populated electronic assemblies. The CRA04S family uses miniature ceramic packages with convex terminals and offers configurations containing multiple isolated resistor elements.
The CRA04S08320K0JTD incorporates four independent 20K ohm resistors in an eight-terminal 0804 surface-mount package. Each resistor can operate as an individual circuit element, allowing the network to perform multiple resistance functions without sharing a common electrical connection.
The 20K ohm resistance value and 5% tolerance make this configuration useful in digital logic support circuits, control systems, bias networks, signal conditioning, and other electronic applications where multiple resistors of identical nominal value are required.
The integration of four resistors into a single miniature component illustrates the electronics industry's continuing movement toward component miniaturization and efficient printed circuit board utilization.
Resistor arrays such as the Vishay CRA04S family remain useful for electronic manufacturing, industrial maintenance, circuit board restoration, and component-level repair when the correct electrical configuration and mechanical footprint are required.
