GS8A014321FAT Description

The GS8A014321FAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor isolated network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features thin-film technology with a 4.32KΩ resistance value and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The device operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for stable performance in demanding environments. With a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances power handling and precision. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy integration into modern PCB layouts.
