GQ8A023740FT Description

The GQ8A023740FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low thermal drift. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 374Ω resistance per element with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin QSOP ceramic package, it offers excellent thermal stability and durability, making it suitable for demanding environments. The 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating and 100V maximum voltage rating further enhance its versatility in circuit designs.

GQ8A023740FT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±1%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C) for stable performance.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Ensures superior thermal management and mechanical strength.
• Isolated Resistor Network (ISOL): Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, providing design flexibility.
• Surface-Mount Gull Wing Termination: Facilitates easy PCB assembly with a 0.64mm terminal pitch.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
• High Power Handling: 0.1W per resistor (0.75W total) accommodates power-dense applications.
• Compact Dimensions: 4.9mm (L) x 6.02mm (D) x 1.47mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
