GQ8A0173R2JCT Description

The GQ8A0173R2JCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and robust thermal performance. Encased in a ceramic QSOP package, this 16-pin SMD component offers a 73.2Ω resistance per resistor with a 5% tolerance and a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable operation across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design provides electrical independence between resistors, making it ideal for signal conditioning and voltage division circuits. The 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating and 0.1W per resistor capability, combined with a 100V maximum voltage rating, make it suitable for demanding environments.
