GS8B021802FT Description

The GS8B021802FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 15 bussed resistors with a 18KΩ resistance value and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers excellent stability with a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The SOIC-C series package ensures robust performance in demanding environments, with a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and a derated power range of 70°C to 125°C. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power circuits requiring high accuracy.
