GS8A023571CAT Description

The GS8A023571CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 3.57KΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for precision circuits. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations offers robust surface-mount compatibility, while the ceramic construction enhances thermal and mechanical reliability.
