GS8B021200GFT Description

The GS8B021200GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications in demanding electronic circuits. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device integrates 15 bussed resistors, each with a 120Ω resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance, ensuring consistent performance. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers excellent stability with a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it ideal for environments with fluctuating temperatures. The SOIC-C series package features a rectangular ceramic case with gull-wing terminations, optimized for surface-mount assembly. Rated for 0.05W (1/20) per resistor and 0.8W total power, it operates reliably within a 70°C to 125°C derated range, with a maximum voltage rating of 100V.

GS8B021200GFT Features

• Bussed Network Design: 15 resistors connected in a bus configuration for simplified circuit layout.
• High Precision: ±2% absolute tolerance and ±1% ratio tolerance for matched performance.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate ensures thermal stability and durability.
• Low TCR: ±50ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift across temperature variations.
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing terminations and 1.27mm pitch for easy PCB integration.
• Compact Dimensions: 9.91mm (L) × 5.99mm (D) × 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm L/H, ±0.2mm D).
• Wide Operating Range: Suitable for -55°C to +125°C (non-derated) and 70°C to 125°C at derated power.
