GS8A021742GFT Description

The GS8A021742GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance characteristics. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 17.4KΩ resistance value per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, making it suitable for demanding environments. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while its ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical stability.

GS8A021742GFT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with low TCR (±50ppm/°C) and tight tolerance (±2%).
• High-Density Isolation: 8 isolated resistors in a compact SOIC-16 package (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm).
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate ensures superior thermal dissipation and durability.
• Wide Operating Range: Rated for -70°C to +125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive-grade applications (though not PPAP/automotive-certified).
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing leads with 1.27mm pitch for seamless SMD assembly.
