GS7B021802FCT Description

The GS7B021802FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. Packaged in a 14-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C series), it features 13 bussed resistors with a 18KΩ resistance value and an absolute tolerance of ±1%, ensuring consistent performance. The thin-film technology delivers a low temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, maintaining stability across a wide operating range of -55°C to +125°C. With a power rating of 0.7W total (0.05W per resistor) and a maximum voltage rating of 100V, this network is engineered for reliability in demanding environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.
