GS8A015491GT

GS8A015491GT Description

The GS8A015491GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and isolation. Packaged in a 16-pin SOIC with gull wing termination, this ceramic-based resistor network offers a 5.49KΩ resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design ensures independent resistor functionality, making it ideal for signal conditioning and voltage division in complex circuits. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, it operates reliably across a 70°C to 125°C derated power range, peaking at 125°C. The surface-mountable device features a compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm footprint, adhering to ±0.1mm length/height and ±0.2mm depth tolerances for consistent PCB integration.
