GS8A016800CT Description

The GS8A016800CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding surface-mount applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this 8-resistor isolated network offers a 680Ω resistance value with an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance and a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its thin-film technology ensures stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C), making it suitable for precision circuits. The SOIC-C series construction features gull-wing terminations with a 1.27mm pitch, facilitating reliable PCB mounting. With a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, this network balances power handling and compactness (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm).
