GS8A0257R6FCT Description

The GS8A0257R6FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin film network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin SOIC ceramic package, it features 57.6Ω 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. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design allows independent resistor functionality, while the 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount (SMD) compatibility facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8A0257R6FCT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±1%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C) for stable performance.
• Ceramic SOIC Package: Offers superior thermal and mechanical robustness compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistor Network: Each of the 8 resistors operates independently, ideal for multi-channel designs.
• High Power Handling: 0.8W total dissipation (0.1W per resistor) supports energy-intensive applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Reliable operation from 70°C to 125°C with derated power.
• Compact & Reliable: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm length/height, ±0.2mm depth).
