GS8A0259R0FCT Description

The GS8A0259R0FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor isolated network designed for precision applications in demanding electronic circuits. Encased in a ceramic SOIC-16 package, this thin-film resistor array offers a 59Ω resistance per element 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. Its 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for high-reliability designs. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount (SMD) configuration facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic substrate enhances thermal and mechanical durability.

GS8A0259R0FCT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers low noise and high accuracy (±1%) for signal conditioning and analog circuits.
• Isolated Resistor Design (ISOL): Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, enabling flexible circuit configurations.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Superior heat dissipation and mechanical strength compared to polymer-based networks.
• Wide Temperature Range: Stable performance from -70°C to +125°C, even at derated power.
• High Voltage Tolerance: Supports up to 100V, ideal for industrial and automotive-grade applications (though not PPAP/automotive-certified).
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with ±0.1mm length/height tolerances for space-constrained layouts.
