GS8B034302CT

GS8B034302CT Description

The GS8B034302CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 15 bussed resistors with a 43KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% tolerance, ensuring reliable performance in precision circuits. Built using thin-film technology, it offers a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it stable across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures easy surface-mount assembly, while its ceramic case provides superior thermal and mechanical durability. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.8W total power dissipation, it is ideal for high-density PCB designs requiring tight tolerances and minimal drift.
