GS8A021543DAT

GS8A021543DAT Description

The GS8A021543DAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 154KΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The network operates within a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C and offers a low temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, making it stable under thermal stress. With a power rating of 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total) and a maximum voltage rating of 100V, it is engineered for reliability in precision circuits. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures compatibility with automated surface-mount assembly processes.
