GS8B023742FCT Description

The GS8B023742FCT 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 thin-film resistors, each with a 37.4KΩ resistance and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability in varying environmental conditions. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability and thermal performance.
