GS8A0242R2GGT Description

The GS8A0242R2GGT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and isolation between resistors. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it features 42.2Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. The 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical stability.

GS8A0242R2GGT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with minimal drift.
• Isolated Resistor Network (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, reducing crosstalk.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Superior heat dissipation and durability vs. plastic alternatives.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C (derated power).
• Low TCR (±50ppm/°C): Maintains accuracy under thermal stress.
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions save board space.
• Gull-Wing SMD Terminations: Ensures secure soldering and mechanical strength.

GS8A0242R2GGT Applications
