The MSP06A01-472G resistor network typically contains multiple resistors with a specific resistance value (in this case, 472 * 100 = 47200 ohms based on the '472' code) and tolerance. Key specifications include the resistance value, tolerance, TCR, power rating, and operating voltage. The Vishay datasheet for the MSP06A01-472G will provide the precise values for these parameters. The package is usually a small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) or similar surface-mount package. Thin film resistors are made by depositing a thin layer of resistive material onto a substrate, providing high precision and stability compared to other resistor technologies. The materials used are selected to ensure low TCR and long-term stability.
