GS8A018452GBT

GS8A018452GBT Description

The GS8A018452GBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 84.5KΩ and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. The network operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a derated power capability, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±0.1% ratio tolerance make it ideal for applications requiring stable and accurate resistance matching. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures easy surface mounting, while the ceramic case provides excellent thermal and mechanical stability.
