GS8A0266R5CT

GS8A0266R5CT Description

The GS8A0266R5CT 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 features a 66.5Ω resistance per resistor with an ultra-tight ±0.25% tolerance and a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. The 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for demanding circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate automated assembly, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical robustness.

GS8A0266R5CT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±0.25%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C) for stable performance in varying environments.
• Isolated Resistor Network: Each resistor is electrically isolated (ISOL), ideal for independent signal paths or voltage division.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Offers superior thermal dissipation and durability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: Measures 9.91mm (L) × 5.99mm (D) × 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm length/height).
• Automation-Friendly: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch simplify PCB placement and reflow soldering.
• Non-Automotive/Non-PPAP: Suitable for industrial, telecom, and instrumentation applications where PPAP compliance isn’t required.

GS8A0266R5CT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Precision Analog Circuits: Voltage dividers, feedback networks, and sensor interfaces in test equipment.
• Isolation Circuits: Signal conditioning in medical devices or industrial control systems.
• Communication Systems: Impedance matching and termination in RF/high-speed PCBs.
• Power Management: Current sensing or load balancing in power supplies.
