GS8A031740GT

GS8A031740GT Description

The GS8A031740GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and reliable isolation. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 174Ω and a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a low temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), ensuring minimal drift under varying thermal conditions. Its 100V maximum voltage rating and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) make it suitable for demanding circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability and thermal performance.
