GS8A021960GCT Description

The GS8A021960GCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 196Ω resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. With a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, it is engineered for reliability in demanding environments. The SOIC-C series construction offers superior thermal and mechanical stability, while the gull-wing termination facilitates easy surface-mount assembly.

GS8A021960GCT Features

• Isolated Resistor Network: 8 independent resistors in a single 16-pin SOIC package, ensuring minimal crosstalk.
• Precision Thin-Film Technology: Delivers ±2% tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for high-accuracy applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, with derated power up to 125°C.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case enhances durability and thermal performance.
• Surface-Mount Design: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm terminal pitch simplify PCB integration.
• Low TCR: ±50ppm/°C ensures minimal resistance drift over temperature variations.
