GS8A016342GBT

GS8A016342GBT Description

The GS8A016342GBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 63.4KΩ resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance (with ±0.1% ratio tolerance for matched pairs). Encased in a rectangular ceramic SOIC package, it offers superior thermal stability with a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operates reliably across a -70°C to +125°C range. With a 100V maximum voltage rating and 0.1W power dissipation per resistor, it is engineered for demanding environments. The gull-wing termination ensures secure surface-mount (SMD) assembly, while its compact dimensions (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) make it ideal for space-constrained designs.
