GS8B013742FCT Description

The GS8B013742FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 15 bussed resistors with a 37.4KΩ resistance value and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with a derated power range of 70°C to 125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. Its thin-film technology delivers excellent stability with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while the 0.05W (1/20W) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8B013742FCT Features

• High Precision: ±1% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for accurate signal conditioning.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case ensures durability and thermal stability.
• Wide Operating Range: Supports temperatures up to 125°C with derated performance.
• Low TCR: ±100ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift over temperature variations.
• Compact SOIC Package: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
• Bussed Network: Simplifies circuit design by connecting multiple resistors in a single package.
• 100V Maximum Voltage Rating: Suitable for low-to-medium voltage applications.
