GS4A038871CT Description

The GS4A038871CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring stable performance under varying thermal conditions. This 8-pin narrow SOIC package features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 8.87KΩ and an ultra-tight tolerance of ±0.25%. The device operates within a temperature range of 70°C to 125°C, ensuring reliability in environments with elevated thermal stress. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient minimizes resistance drift, making it ideal for precision analog and digital circuits. The SOIC-C series construction provides robust mechanical stability, while the gull-wing termination facilitates easy surface-mount assembly.
