GS8A017870CAT Description

The GS8A017870CAT 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 787Ω and an absolute tolerance of ±0.25%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The device operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a derated power rating, making it suitable for environments with thermal fluctuations. Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) provide stable performance under varying conditions. The SOIC-C series construction offers robust ceramic case durability, while the gull-wing termination ensures reliable surface-mount compatibility.
