GS8A012940JT Description

The GS8A012940JT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values under varying thermal conditions. Encased in a ceramic SOIC-16 package, it offers 294Ω resistance per resistor with a 5% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage, this surface-mount (Gull Wing) device is ideal for compact PCB designs. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design eliminates crosstalk, while the ceramic substrate enhances thermal dissipation and mechanical robustness.
