GQ8B018200GT Description

The GQ8B018200GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin QSOP (Quarter Small Outline Package) device integrates 15 resistors with a 820Ω resistance value, offering a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Encased in a ceramic package, it ensures excellent thermal stability and durability. With a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.05W per resistor) and a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, it is engineered for reliability in demanding environments. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while its compact dimensions (4.9mm x 6.02mm x 1.47mm) make it ideal for space-constrained designs.
