GS8A0243R2FT

GS8A0243R2FT Description

The GS8A0243R2FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network in a 16-pin SOIC package, designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values. Each resistor features a 43.2Ω value with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. The ceramic case and gull-wing termination provide robust mechanical and thermal stability, while the 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per resistor (0.8W total) makes it suitable for compact, high-density designs. With a 100V maximum voltage rating and surface-mount (SMD) compatibility, this isolated network is ideal for industrial and instrumentation applications.

GS8A0243R2FT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with minimal drift (±50ppm/°C).
• High-Density SOIC Package: Compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm footprint saves PCB space.
• Isolated Resistor Network (ISOL): Each resistor is electrically independent for flexible circuit design.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate ensures durability under thermal stress.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
• 1% Tolerance: Tight resistance accuracy for precision analog/digital circuits.
