GS4A016981FT

GS4A016981FT Description

The GS4A016981FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 8-pin narrow SOIC device features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 6.98 kΩ and a tight ±1% tolerance. The network operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a derated power rating, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. Its ±100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient minimizes resistance drift, making it suitable for stable, long-term performance. The SOIC package (4.9mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations facilitates easy surface-mount assembly, while the 100V maximum voltage rating and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.4W total) cater to low-power circuits.

GS4A016981FT Features

• Isolated Resistors: Four independent resistors (6.98 kΩ each) for flexible circuit design.
• High Precision: ±1% absolute tolerance and ±100 ppm/°C TCR ensure accuracy.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case with thin-film technology for durability and thermal stability.
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing terminations and 1.27mm pitch for compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
• Wide Operating Range: -70°C to +125°C with derated power up to 125°C.
• Low Power Dissipation: 0.1W per resistor (0.4W total) ideal for energy-sensitive designs.

GS4A016981FT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage dividers and feedback networks in analog circuits.
• Industrial Electronics: Isolated measurement systems and sensor interfaces.
