GS8A014420FT

GS8A014420FT Description

The GS8A014420FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 442Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 1% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation, while the 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount (SMD) design facilitate automated assembly.

GS8A014420FT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high stability for sensitive circuits.
• Ceramic SOIC Package: Enhances thermal performance and durability in harsh conditions.
• Isolated Resistor Network: Each of the 8 resistors operates independently, ideal for multi-channel isolation.
• Wide Temperature Range: Reliable performance from -70°C to +125°C (derated power).
• Low TCR (±100ppm/°C): Minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress.
• Compact Dimensions: 9.91mm (L) × 5.99mm (D) × 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
• Automation-Friendly: 1.27mm terminal pitch and gull-wing leads for seamless SMD placement.
