GS8A018200GT

GS8A018200GT Description

The GS8A018200GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and reliable isolation. Encased in a ceramic SOIC-16 package, this component offers an 820Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring minimal drift across operating conditions. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total), it supports a maximum voltage of 100V and operates within a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the isolated (ISOL) circuit design enhances signal integrity in multi-channel systems.
