@caretak3r you had mentioned running 16 of the s02 4s4p is there anyway you could show me how to do that kind of wiring I get parallel and series now but doing them both at the same time I can't find any info on how to do that
without looking at your specific application, its pretty easy to understand
parallel = current splits (for equal loads)
series = voltage doubled (for equal loads)
always
lets imagine you have a 1000mA constant current source
so lets take 3V LEDs
2 in parallel = 3V, 500 mA each. total load 3V 1000mA
3 in parallel = 3V, 333 mA each. total load 3V 1000mA
4 in parallel = 3V, 250 mA each. total load 3V 1000mA
2 in series = 6V, 1000 mA each. total load 6V 1000mA
3 in series = 9V, 1000 mA each. total load 9V 1000mA
4 in series = 12V, 1000 mA each. total load 12V 1000mA
pretend that any of the loads above are one single load when you combine them
i.e lets put 2 of the "4 in parallel" in series
"3V, 250 mA each" in series with "3V, 250 mA each" is now 6V, 250 mA each
alternatively, lets put 2 of the "4 in series" in parallel
these are "12V, 1000 mA each" individually but when you put two in parallel they are now 12V 500mA each
i hope that helps! there are simple equations you could use to calculate the current of two different loads in parallel, but when they are equal its pretty straightforward
