GS8A033742CT Description

The GS8A033742CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 37.4KΩ resistance and an ultra-tight ±0.25% tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a derated power range of 70°C to 125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient guarantees minimal resistance drift, making it ideal for precision circuits. The SOIC-C series construction offers a compact footprint (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations for easy surface-mount assembly. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total), it balances power handling with space efficiency.
