GS8A016340GT Description

The GS8A016340GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and reliable isolation. This 8-resistor network features a 634Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers excellent thermal stability and durability, making it suitable for demanding environments. The 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating further enhance its versatility in circuit designs requiring isolated resistor arrays.

GS8A016340GT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±2%) and low TCR (±100ppm/°C) for stable performance.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Ensures superior thermal management and mechanical strength compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistor Network (ISOL): Each resistor is electrically isolated, ideal for applications requiring independent signal paths.
• Surface-Mount Gull Wing Terminals: Facilitates easy PCB assembly with a 1.27mm pitch and SOIC-16 footprint.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, suitable for industrial and automotive (non-AEC-Q qualified) use.
• Non-RoHS Compliant: May be preferred for legacy or specialized applications requiring leaded components.
