GS8A012800CT Description

The GS8A012800CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 280Ω 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 capability up to 125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The SOIC-C series construction offers robust performance with a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total), housed in a compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm ceramic package.
