GS4A031600CT Description

The GS4A031600CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package, it features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 160Ω resistance and an ultra-tight ±0.25% tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance in thermally variable environments. Its 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.4W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability and thermal dissipation.
