GS8A021242FT Description

The GS8A021242FT 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 features 12.4KΩ resistance per resistor with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor functionality, 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 easy PCB integration.
