GS8B034320GBT Description

The GS8B034320GBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications in demanding environments. Packaged in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C Series), this bussed network integrates 15 thin-film resistors with a 432Ω resistance value and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive-grade designs. The 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating provide reliable performance in compact, space-constrained PCB layouts.
