GS8B034222GFT Description

The GS8B034222GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this bussed (BUS) configuration device integrates 15 thin-film resistors, each with a 42.2KΩ resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. The SOIC-C series construction features a rectangular ceramic case with gull-wing terminations, optimized for surface-mount (SMD) assembly. With a power rating of 0.8W (0.05W per resistor) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances compactness (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm) with robust performance.

GS8B034222GFT Features

• Precision Thin-Film Technology: Delivers ±25ppm/°C thermal stability and ±1% ratio tolerance for matched resistance values.
• High-Density Integration: 15 resistors in a 16-pin SOIC save PCB space versus discrete components.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C (derated power up to 125°C).
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate enhances thermal dissipation and mechanical durability.
• Automation-Friendly: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch simplify pick-and-place assembly.
• Non-Automotive/Non-PPAP: Ideal for industrial and commercial applications where PPAP compliance isn’t required.
