GS8A023740GGT Description

The GS8A023740GGT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low temperature coefficients. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 374Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 0.1W power dissipation per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, making it suitable for demanding circuit isolation tasks. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8A023740GGT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with low TCR (±50ppm/°C) for high-accuracy applications.
• Isolated Network (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, ideal for signal isolation and voltage division.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Ensures durability and thermal stability in harsh environments.
• High Power Handling: 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) supports energy-intensive designs.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, suitable for industrial and automotive-grade applications (though not PPAP/automotive-certified).
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with ±0.1mm length/height tolerances for space-constrained layouts.
