GQ8A033401BAT Description

The GQ8A033401BAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision thin-film resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring tight tolerance and stable performance. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 3.4KΩ resistance value per resistor with an exceptional 0.1% tolerance and a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring minimal drift across operating conditions. Housed in a 16-pin QSOP ceramic package, it offers superior thermal stability and durability, making it ideal for precision analog and digital circuits. With a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating and 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances power handling with compact surface-mount (SMD) gull-wing termination. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation, enhancing flexibility in circuit design.
