GS8A021871CT Description

The GS8A021871CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision thin-film resistor network designed for demanding isolation and signal conditioning applications. This 8-resistor array features a 1.87KΩ 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 0.8W total power dissipation (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, making it suitable for high-reliability circuits. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design and gull-wing SMD termination enable easy integration into surface-mount PCBs.
