GS7B014642GCT Description

The GS7B014642GCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications in demanding electronic circuits. Housed in a 14-pin narrow SOIC package, this bussed network integrates 13 thin-film resistors with a 46.4KΩ resistance value and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stable performance across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for environments with thermal fluctuations. The SOIC-C series construction features a ceramic case style, offering superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to polymer-based alternatives. With a 0.7W total power rating (0.05W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances power handling and compactness for space-constrained designs.
