GS8A012611CAT

GS8A012611CAT Description

The GS8A012611CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 2.61KΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (with ±0.05% ratio tolerance). The device operates within a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C and delivers a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total). Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability under thermal stress, while the 100V maximum voltage rating and gull-wing termination make it suitable for surface-mount PCB designs. Encased in a rectangular ceramic SOIC package, it offers robust mechanical and thermal performance.
