GS8A016340CT Description

The GS8A016340CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 634Ω and an exceptional ±0.25% tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability in varying environmental conditions. 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 gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy integration into compact PCB layouts.

GS8A016340CT Features
