GQ8A038871CT Description

The GQ8A038871CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision, thin-film resistor network designed for demanding isolation and signal conditioning applications. This 8-resistor network features an 8.87KΩ resistance value per resistor with an ultra-tight tolerance of ±0.25% and a low temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. Housed in a ceramic QSOP package, it offers excellent thermal stability and durability. The 16-pin gull-wing SMD termination facilitates reliable surface mounting, while the 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per resistor and 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating make it suitable for moderate power applications.
