GQ8A016981FFT Description

The GQ8A016981FFT 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 6.98KΩ resistance per resistor with a tight 1% 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 reliable surface-mount (SMD) assembly, with a compact footprint of 4.9mm (L) × 6.02mm (D) × 1.47mm (H). Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation, while the 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per resistor and 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating make it suitable for demanding environments.
