GS8A011821GT Description

The GS8A011821GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network in a 16-pin SOIC package, designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values. With a 1.82KΩ resistance per resistor, 2% tolerance, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, this component ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. The ceramic case and gull-wing termination provide robust mechanical and thermal stability, while the isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage, it operates across a wide temperature range (-70°C to +125°C), making it suitable for industrial and instrumentation applications.

GS8A011821GT Features

• Thin Film Technology: Delivers high precision and low noise, ideal for signal conditioning.
• Ceramic SOIC Package: Enhances thermal dissipation and durability in harsh conditions.
• Isolated Resistors (8x): Independent 1.82KΩ resistors enable flexible circuit design.
• Stable Performance: ±100ppm/°C TCR and 2% tolerance ensure long-term reliability.
• Surface-Mount Gull Wing: Facilitates automated PCB assembly and secure soldering.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
• High Voltage Rating: Supports up to 100V, suitable for industrial power systems.

GS8A011821GT Applications
