GS4A033161CT Description

The GS4A033161CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 8-pin narrow SOIC device features four isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 3.16 kΩ and an ultra-tight tolerance of ±0.25%. The network operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a derated power range of 70°C to 125°C, ensuring stability in harsh environments. Its ±25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient minimizes resistance drift, making it ideal for precision circuits. The SOIC package (4.9mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures reliable surface-mount assembly, while the ceramic construction enhances thermal and mechanical robustness.
