GS8A013320CAT

GS8A013320CAT Description

The GS8A013320CAT 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 332Ω resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). The device operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability in harsh environments. Its 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The SOIC-C series construction provides robust ceramic isolation, enhancing reliability in high-voltage or noise-sensitive designs.
