GQ8A018060GT Description

The GQ8A018060GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and robust thermal performance. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 806Ω resistance value per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable operation across a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. Housed in a ceramic QSOP package with 16 gull-wing terminals, it offers excellent thermal dissipation and mechanical durability for surface-mount (SMD) applications. The 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits.

GQ8A018060GT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with low TCR (±100ppm/°C) and tight tolerance (±2%).
• Robust Ceramic Package: Enhances thermal management and mechanical strength in harsh environments.
• Isolated Circuit Design (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, ideal for multi-channel applications.
• High Power Handling: 0.75W total power dissipation (0.1W per resistor) at derated temperatures up to 125°C.
• Compact QSOP-16 Form Factor: Space-saving 4.9mm × 6.02mm × 1.47mm dimensions with 0.64mm terminal pitch for high-density PCB layouts.
• Gull Wing Termination: Ensures reliable solder joints and compatibility with automated assembly processes.

GQ8A018060GT Applications

This resistor network excels in precision analog and digital circuits, including:

• Signal Conditioning & Voltage Division: Isolated resistors prevent crosstalk in sensor interfaces or ADC/DAC circuits.
• Industrial Control Systems: Withstands elevated temperatures in motor drives or power supplies.
• Medical Electronics: Stable performance in diagnostic equipment due to low TCR and high reliability.
• Telecommunications: Used in RF modules or baseband processing where consistent resistance is critical.
• Automotive (Non-Automotive Rated): Suitable for prototyping or non-safety-critical automotive subsystems.
