GS8B032940FT Description

The GS8B032940FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 15 bussed resistors with a 294Ω resistance value and a tight ±1% tolerance, ensuring reliable signal integrity in demanding circuits. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it stable across a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The SOIC-C series construction offers a compact footprint (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations for easy surface-mount assembly. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.8W total power dissipation, it is ideal for high-density PCB designs requiring robust thermal performance.
