GS8A021742GAT Description

The GS8A021742GAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 17.4K Ohm resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers superior thermal stability and durability. The 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8A021742GAT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±2%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C).
• Isolated Circuit Design (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, ideal for signal isolation.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Enhances thermal performance and mechanical strength.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -55°C to +125°C (derated power up to 125°C).
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length).
• Surface-Mount Gull Wing Terminals: Ensures secure soldering and high PCB reliability.
