GQ8A0243R0FCT Description

The GQ8A0243R0FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications. Encased in a ceramic QSOP package, it offers 43Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor functionality, 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 16-pin gull-wing SMD termination ensures reliable surface-mount assembly, and the 100V maximum voltage rating enhances versatility in high-voltage circuits.

GQ8A0243R0FCT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable performance with low TCR (±50ppm/°C) and 1% tolerance.
• Robust Ceramic QSOP Package: Enhances thermal management and durability in harsh conditions.
• Isolated Resistor Network (ISOL): Each of the 8 resistors operates independently, ideal for multi-channel designs.
• High Power Handling: 0.75W total power dissipation (0.1W per resistor) supports energy-intensive applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, suitable for industrial and automotive-grade systems (though non-automotive PPAP).
• Compact & Reliable: 4.9mm x 6.02mm footprint with a low 1.47mm profile, optimized for space-constrained PCBs.
