GS8A0256R0DCT Description

The GS8A0256R0DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network designed for demanding surface-mount applications. This thin-film resistor array offers a 56Ω resistance per element with an exceptional ±0.5% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it features gull-wing terminations for reliable SMD assembly and delivers a total power rating of 0.8W (0.1W per resistor). Its 100V maximum voltage rating and isolated (ISOL) circuit design make it ideal for precision analog and digital circuits requiring minimal crosstalk.

GS8A0256R0DCT Features
