GQ8A0176R8FCT Description

The GQ8A0176R8FCT 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 a 76.8Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide -70°C to +125°C operating range. The 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. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount (SMD) construction facilitate easy PCB integration.

GQ8A0176R8FCT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high accuracy (±100ppm/°C) for signal conditioning and analog circuits.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Enhances thermal performance and mechanical durability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistor Network: Each of the 8 resistors operates independently, ideal for multi-channel isolation.
• High Voltage Rating: Supports up to 100V, suitable for industrial and telecom applications.
• Compact QSOP-16 Footprint: Measures just 4.9mm (L) × 6.02mm (D) × 1.47mm (H), saving board space.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
