GS8A021331CT

GS8A021331CT Description

The GS8A021331CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision thin-film resistor network designed for demanding isolation and signal conditioning applications. This 8-resistor network features a 1.33KΩ resistance per element with an ultra-tight 0.25% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers excellent thermal stability and durability, making it ideal for high-reliability environments. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design ensures minimal crosstalk between resistors, while the gull-wing termination facilitates easy surface-mount (SMD) assembly. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, this network is engineered for precision analog and digital circuits.
