GS4A031620FCT Description

The GS4A031620FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 8-pin narrow SOIC device features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 162Ω resistance and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance (with ±0.25% ratio tolerance). Its SOIC-C series construction ensures excellent thermal stability, with a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it ideal for environments requiring minimal drift. The ceramic case enhances durability, while the gull-wing termination facilitates reliable surface-mount assembly. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.4W total) and 100V maximum voltage, it operates across a 70°C to 125°C derated power range, with a 125°C maximum operating temperature.
