GS8A021913CT Description

The GS8A021913CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor thin film network in a 16-pin SOIC package, designed for surface-mount applications. It features 191K Ohm 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). The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor operation, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, it suits demanding analog and digital circuits.

GS8A021913CT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high stability for sensitive signal conditioning.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic substrate and gull-wing termination ensure reliability in harsh environments.
• Space-Efficient SOIC Package: Compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm footprint with 1.27mm terminal pitch for high-density PCB layouts.
• Wide Operating Range: Derated power up to 125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive-grade designs (though not PPAP/automotive certified).
• Non-RoHS Compliant: Suitable for legacy or specialized applications requiring non-compliant materials.
