GS8B017322CAT

GS8B017322CAT Description

The GS8B017322CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Packaged in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C series), this bussed network integrates 15 resistors with a 73.2KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Built using thin-film technology, it delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C (derated) and up to 125°C maximum operating temperature. With a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it ensures minimal resistance drift under thermal stress. The 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power, high-density circuits.

GS8B017322CAT Features

• Precision Tolerance: ±0.25% absolute, ±0.05% ratio tolerance for matched performance.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case with gull-wing termination for reliable surface-mount assembly.
• Thermal Stability: ±100ppm/°C TCR ensures consistent operation in varying environments.
• Compact & Durable: 9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
• High Voltage Handling: 100V maximum rating for industrial and instrumentation use.
• Bussed Design: Simplified PCB layout with shared connections for bus applications.
• Non-Automotive: Not PPAP-capable, ideal for industrial, medical, and telecom systems.

GS8B017322CAT Applications

This resistor network excels in precision analog circuits, voltage dividers, and signal conditioning where tight tolerance and thermal stability are critical. Its SOIC package suits space-constrained designs like:

• Data acquisition systems (DAS) requiring matched resistances.
• Test & measurement equipment for calibration and reference circuits.
• Medical devices where low drift and reliability are paramount.
• Telecom infrastructure (e.g., line drivers, filters) demanding stable performance.

Conclusion of GS8B017322CAT

The GS8B017322CAT stands out for its ceramic thin-film construction, ultra-tight tolerances, and bussed architecture, making it a superior choice for precision electronics. While not automotive-grade, its high voltage rating, low TCR, and compact SOIC footprint cater to industrial and professional applications where accuracy and durability are non-negotiable. Engineers will value its repeatable performance in critical signal paths and analog subsystems.
