GS8A014421CAT

GS8A014421CAT Description

The GS8A014421CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 4.42KΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.25%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The network operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a derated power range of 70°C to 125°C, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its SOIC package (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures reliable surface-mount assembly. The ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) provide stable performance under varying thermal conditions.
