GQ8A012152GFT Description

The GQ8A012152GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Encased in a ceramic QSOP package, it offers 21.5KΩ resistance per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. The device features 16 gull-wing terminals for secure surface-mount (SMD) assembly, with a compact footprint of 4.9mm (L) × 6.02mm (D) × 1.47mm (H). Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design eliminates crosstalk, making it ideal for signal integrity-critical systems. Rated for 0.75W total power (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage, it combines robustness with precision.
