GS8A021600GT Description

The GS8A021600GT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers 160Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. The 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design, gull-wing termination, and surface-mount (SMD) compatibility enable reliable integration into compact PCB layouts. The ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical robustness, while the tube packaging ensures handling safety.
