GS8A0241R2GFT Description

The GS8A0241R2GFT 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 41.2Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide -70°C to +125°C operating range. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation, while the 0.1W (1/10W) 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) construction facilitate automated assembly.

GS8A0241R2GFT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±2%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C).
• Isolated Resistor Network: Each of the 8 resistors operates independently, ideal for multi-channel designs.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Enhances thermal stability and durability in harsh conditions.
• Compact SOIC-16 Form Factor: Measures 9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm, saving PCB space.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C with derated power up to 125°C.
• Automation-Friendly: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm terminal pitch simplify SMD placement.

GS8A0241R2GFT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Analog Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage dividers, feedback networks in op-amp circuits.
• Industrial Control Systems: PLCs, sensor interfaces requiring stable resistance under thermal stress.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Calibration circuits, load simulation with minimal drift.
• Medical Electronics: Isolated signal paths in diagnostic devices.
• Automotive (Non-Automotive Rated): Prototyping or non-safety-critical circuits where ceramic robustness is advantageous.
