GS8B032802JFT Description

The GS8B032802JFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 15 bussed resistors with a 28KΩ resistance value and a ±5% absolute tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers excellent stability with a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The network operates within a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for harsh environments. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.05W per resistor) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances power handling and compactness. The gull-wing termination ensures reliable surface-mount (SMD) assembly, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.

GS8B032802JFT Features

• Bussed Network Design: 15 resistors connected in a single bus configuration for simplified circuit routing.
• High Precision: ±5% tolerance with ±1% ratio tolerance, ideal for matched resistance requirements.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic SOIC package ensures thermal stability and resistance to mechanical stress.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
• Low TCR: ±25ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift over temperature fluctuations.
• Compact Footprint: 9.91mm (L) × 5.99mm (D) × 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length).
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing leads with 1.27mm pitch for easy PCB integration.

GS8B032802JFT Applications

This resistor network excels in precision analog circuits, voltage division, and signal conditioning where stable, matched resistances are critical. Key applications include:

• Industrial Control Systems: Sensor interfaces, PLCs, and instrumentation requiring low drift.
• Automotive Electronics: Engine control units (ECUs) and infotainment systems (note: not PPAP/automotive-qualified).
• Medical Devices: Patient monitoring equipment demanding high reliability.
• Telecommunications: Signal processing and filtering in base stations/routers.
• Test & Measurement: Calibration circuits and reference networks.

Conclusion of GS8B032802JFT

The GS8B032802JFT stands out for its ceramic-based durability, tight tolerance performance, and broad thermal operating range. While not automotive-grade, its thin-film technology and bussed architecture make it a cost-effective solution for high-density PCBs and precision electronics. Engineers will appreciate its balance of size, power handling, and stability, particularly in industrial and telecom applications where environmental resilience is paramount. For non-RoHS designs requiring robust performance, this network offers a compelling alternative to polymer-based arrays.
