GS8B034872CT

GS8B034872CT Description

The GS8B034872CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Packaged in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C series), this bussed network integrates 15 resistors with a 48.7KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) and features a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating ensure reliability in precision circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8B034872CT Features

• High Precision: ±0.25% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C TCR for critical accuracy.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case with rectangular SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) and tight dimensional tolerances (±0.1mm height/length).
• Optimized Power Handling: 0.8W total power rating (0.05W per resistor) with derating up to 125°C.
• Bussed Configuration: Simplifies circuit design by connecting multiple resistors to a common node (BUS).
• Thin-Film Technology: Ensures low noise and long-term stability.
• Non-Automotive/Non-PPAP: Suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
