GS8A0168R0JCT Description

The GS8A0168R0JCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor isolated network designed for precision surface-mount applications. This thin-film resistor array features a 68Ω resistance value per element with a 5% tolerance and a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, making it suitable for demanding circuits requiring isolation and reliability. The gull-wing termination and 1.27mm pitch facilitate easy PCB integration, while its compact dimensions (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) save board space.

GS8A0168R0JCT Features

• Isolated Circuit Design (ISOL): Each resistor operates independently, eliminating crosstalk in sensitive applications.
• Ceramic SOIC Package: Enhances thermal stability and mechanical durability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Thin-Film Technology: Delivers superior accuracy, low noise, and long-term stability.
