GS8A0160R4JCT Description

The GS8A0160R4JCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and reliable isolation. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers a 60.4Ω resistance per resistor with a 5% tolerance and a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring consistent performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). The 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical stability.

GS8A0160R4JCT Features

• Isolated Resistor Network: Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, reducing crosstalk in sensitive circuits.
• High Power Handling: 0.8W total power dissipation (0.1W per resistor) outperforms standard thin-film arrays.
• Stable Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high precision with a ±100ppm/°C TCR.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic SOIC package ensures durability and excellent heat dissipation.
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch simplify automated assembly.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -55°C to +125°C (derated above 70°C).
