GS4A021600GT

GS4A021600GT Description

The GS4A021600GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values under varying thermal conditions. This 8-pin narrow SOIC package features four isolated thin-film resistors, each rated at 160Ω with a tight ±2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. With a power rating of 0.1W per resistor (0.4W total), it operates reliably across a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. The SOIC-C series construction ensures robust mechanical integrity, while the gull-wing termination facilitates easy surface-mount assembly.

GS4A021600GT Features

• Isolated Resistors: Four independent 160Ω resistors with 100V maximum voltage rating, ideal for signal isolation.
• Precision Thin-Film Technology: Delivers low TCR (±50ppm/°C) and ±2% tolerance for consistent performance.
• Robust Ceramic Case: SOIC package with rectangular ceramic body (4.9mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) ensures thermal stability and durability.
• Surface-Mount Design: Gull-wing leads with 1.27mm pitch for compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
• Derated Power Handling: Maintains functionality up to 125°C with derated power at elevated temperatures.

GS4A021600GT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Analog Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage dividers or feedback networks in op-amp circuits.
• Industrial Control Systems: Isolated signal paths in PLCs or sensor interfaces.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Stable reference resistors for calibration or instrumentation.
• Medical Electronics: Reliable performance in diagnostic devices where thermal drift is critical.
• Automotive Alternatives: While not automotive-grade, it suits non-AECQ industrial applications requiring ceramic robustness.
