GS8A034420JT

GS8A034420JT Description

The GS8A034420JT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low thermal drift. Encased in a ceramic SOIC-16 package, this 442Ω, 5% tolerance network offers a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide operating range of -55°C to +125°C. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, it is engineered for surface-mount (SMD) designs, featuring gull-wing terminals for robust PCB connectivity. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design enhances flexibility in circuit configurations, while the ceramic substrate provides superior thermal and mechanical stability.

GS8A034420JT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high stability for critical analog/digital circuits.
• Ceramic SOIC Package: Ensures durability and heat dissipation in compact designs (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm).
• Isolated Resistor Network: Enables independent resistor usage without shared terminals.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -55°C to +125°C, derated up to 125°C.
• Low TCR (±25ppm/°C): Minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress.
• Gull-Wing Termination: Facilitates automated PCB assembly and strong solder joints.
• Non-Automotive (PPAP No): Ideal for industrial, telecom, and instrumentation applications.
