GS8A011370CT Description

The GS8A011370CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, designed for demanding surface-mount applications. This ceramic-based thin-film resistor network offers a 137Ω resistance per element with an exceptional ±0.25% tolerance and a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C. The SOIC-C series construction provides robust performance with a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total), a 100V maximum voltage rating, and gull-wing terminations for reliable PCB mounting. Its 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm compact footprint and ±0.1mm dimensional tolerances make it ideal for space-constrained designs.

GS8A011370CT Features

• Isolated Circuit Design (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, eliminating crosstalk in precision analog circuits.
• High Precision: ±0.25% absolute tolerance and thin-film technology ensure repeatable accuracy.
• Wide Temperature Range: Derated power operation up to 125°C suits industrial and automotive environments (though not PPAP/automotive-qualified).
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate enhances thermal stability and mechanical durability.
• Low TCR: ±100ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress.
• Surface-Mount Optimized: 1.27mm terminal pitch and gull-wing leads simplify automated assembly.

GS8A011370CT Applications

• Precision Voltage Dividers: Isolated resistors prevent signal interference in sensor interfaces.
• Medical Instrumentation: Stable performance in diagnostic equipment where accuracy is critical.
• Industrial Control Systems: Reliable operation in PLCs and motor drives under high temperatures.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Low TCR ensures calibration integrity over time.
• Aerospace Electronics: Ceramic construction resists vibration and thermal cycling (note: non-RoHS).
