GS8A016812CT

GS8A016812CT Description

The GS8A016812CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 68.1 kΩ and an ultra-tight tolerance of ±0.25%. The device operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a derated power range up to 125°C, ensuring stability in harsh environments. Its ±100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient minimizes resistance drift, making it ideal for precision circuits. The SOIC-C series construction offers a compact footprint (9.91 mm × 5.99 mm × 1.45 mm) with gull-wing terminations for reliable surface-mount assembly.
