GS8A028452CAT

GS8A028452CAT Description

The GS8A028452CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 84.5KΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.25%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. With a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) offers a compact footprint, while the gull-wing termination facilitates reliable surface-mount assembly. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.1W power dissipation per resistor, it is ideal for precision analog and digital circuits.

GS8A028452CAT Features

• High Precision: ±0.25% absolute tolerance and ±0.05% ratio tolerance for critical applications.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case ensures durability and thermal stability.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from 70°C to 125°C with derated power.
• Low TCR: ±50ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under temperature fluctuations.
• Isolated Design: Eight independent resistors prevent crosstalk in multi-channel systems.
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing terminals and 1.27mm pitch simplify PCB integration.
• Non-Automotive: Suitable for industrial, medical, and telecom applications (PPAP not required).

GS8A028452CAT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Precision voltage dividers in test/measurement equipment.
