GS8A021652CAT Description

The GS8A021652CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring stable performance under varying thermal conditions. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this 8-resistor isolated network features thin-film technology with a 16.5KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal resistance drift across the -70°C to +125°C operating range, making it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The SOIC-C series construction offers robust ceramic case insulation, 100V maximum voltage rating, and 0.1W power dissipation per resistor (0.8W total).

GS8A021652CAT Features

• High Precision: ±0.25% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C TCR for stable performance.
• Isolated Design: Eight independent resistors in a 16-pin SOIC (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm) with gull-wing termination.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate ensures thermal stability and durability in harsh environments.
• Wide Operating Range: Derated power up to 125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive (non-PPAP) applications.
• Surface-Mount Ready: 1.27mm terminal pitch and rectangular package for easy PCB integration.
• Non-RoHS (EU) compliance for legacy or specialized designs.

GS8A021652CAT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Precision voltage dividers and sensor signal conditioning (e.g., medical instrumentation).
• Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) requiring tight ratio matching.
• Industrial control systems where temperature stability is critical.
• Test & measurement equipment demanding low drift over wide thermal ranges.
• Aerospace and defense electronics (non-automotive) due to ceramic reliability.

Conclusion of GS8A021652CAT

The GS8A021652CAT combines high accuracy, thermal resilience, and compact SOIC packaging, making it a superior choice for precision circuits. Its isolated thin-film resistors and ceramic case outperform plastic-encapsulated networks in thermal and electrical stability. While not PPAP-capable, it is ideal for industrial, instrumentation, and high-reliability applications where consistent performance under thermal stress is paramount. For legacy or non-RoHS designs, this network offers a robust, precision-engineered solution.
