GS8A023831CT Description

The GS8A023831CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor thin-film network designed for isolation (ISOL) applications. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it offers a 3.83KΩ resistance per resistor with an ultra-tight ±0.25% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide -70°C to +125°C operating range. With a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating, this surface-mount (SMD) network is ideal for precision analog and digital circuits requiring minimal drift and high reliability. The gull-wing termination and 1.27mm pitch facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal performance.
