GQ8A0160R4GFT Description

The GQ8A0160R4GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin QSOP ceramic package, it offers 60.4Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide -70°C to +125°C operating range. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design provides independent resistors, making it ideal for applications requiring signal isolation. With a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, this surface-mount network is engineered for reliability in demanding environments.

GQ8A0160R4GFT Features

• Thin Film Technology: Delivers superior accuracy, low noise, and stability compared to thick-film alternatives.
• Ceramic QSOP Package: Enhances thermal performance and mechanical durability in high-temperature or harsh conditions.
• Gull Wing Termination: Ensures robust solder joints for surface-mount assembly (SMD).
• Isolated Resistors: Independent 60.4Ω resistors (8 total) enable flexible circuit design without shared connections.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, with derated power up to 125°C.
• Precision Specifications: ±100ppm/°C TCR and 2% tolerance ensure consistent performance in precision circuits.
