GS4A038872DAT Description

The GS4A038872DAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 8-pin narrow SOIC device features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 88.7 kΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%. The network operates within a temperature range of 70°C to 125°C and offers a low temperature coefficient of ±25 ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance under thermal stress. Encased in a rectangular ceramic SOIC package, it provides excellent durability and thermal dissipation, with a power rating of 0.1W per resistor (0.4W total). Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.
