GQ8A0180R6GCT Description

The GQ8A0180R6GCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low tolerance. This 8-resistor isolated network features a ceramic QSOP package with 16 gull-wing terminals, offering excellent thermal and mechanical stability. With a resistance value of 80.6Ω ±2% and a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, it ensures reliable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). The 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its surface-mount design (4.9mm x 6.02mm x 1.47mm) and 0.64mm terminal pitch facilitate compact PCB layouts.
