GS8A031300DCT

GS8A031300DCT Description

The GS8A031300DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features isolated elements with a 130Ω resistance value and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The device operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for stable performance in varying environmental conditions. Its thin-film technology and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) provide reliable power dissipation, while the 100V maximum voltage rating ensures robustness in high-voltage circuits.

GS8A031300DCT Features

• Ceramic SOIC Package: Offers superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistors: Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, enabling flexible circuit design.
• High Precision: ±0.5% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for critical analog applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Derated power operation up to 125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive environments (though not PPAP/automotive-qualified).
• Low TCR: ±25ppm/°C ensures minimal resistance drift over temperature.
• Gull Wing Termination: Facilitates surface-mount (SMD) assembly with a 1.27mm terminal pitch for high-density PCBs.

GS8A031300DCT Applications

This resistor network excels in precision circuits requiring stable, matched resistances, such as:
