GS8A0159R0GFT Description

The GS8A0159R0GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 59Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage, it operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-70°C to +125°C). The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit configuration provides flexibility in circuit design, while the ceramic case enhances thermal stability and durability.
