GS8B017872CT Description

The GS8B017872CT 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), it features 15 bussed resistors with a 78.7KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance. Built using thin-film technology, this network ensures low noise and stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). With a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it delivers reliable operation in environments with thermal fluctuations. The 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision circuits requiring consistent signal integrity.
