GS8A012371DAT

GS8A012371DAT Description

The GS8A012371DAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 2.37KΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The network operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for stable performance in varying thermal conditions. Encased in a rectangular ceramic SOIC package, it offers 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a maximum voltage rating of 100V. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8A012371DAT Features

• High Precision: ±0.5% absolute tolerance and ±0.05% ratio tolerance for critical applications.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case ensures durability and thermal stability.
• Isolated Resistors: 8 independent resistors (2.37KΩ each) for flexible circuit design.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from 70°C to 125°C with derated power.
• Low TCR: ±100ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under temperature fluctuations.
• Compact Footprint: 9.91mm (L) x 5.99mm (D) x 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm).
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing terminals and 1.27mm pitch for efficient assembly.
