GS8A0256R0FFT

GS8A0256R0FFT Description

The GS8A0256R0FFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Encased in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it features 56Ω resistance per resistor with a tight 1% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability 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, this isolated (ISOL) network is engineered for reliability in demanding circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.
