GS8A031600FCT Description

The GS8A031600FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor isolated network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package. Designed with thin-film technology on a ceramic substrate, it offers excellent stability and precision with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±1% absolute tolerance. Each resistor features a 160Ω resistance value and a 0.1W (1/10) power rating per element, totaling 0.8W for the entire network. The device operates within a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C and supports a maximum voltage rating of 100V, making it suitable for demanding environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure reliable PCB integration.

GS8A031600FCT Features

• Precision Performance: ±1% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for matched resistance values.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case ensures thermal stability and durability.
• High Power Handling: 0.8W total power dissipation (0.1W per resistor).
• Wide Operating Range: -55°C to +125°C (derated power up to 125°C).
• Low TCR: ±25ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift over temperature.
• Compact Footprint: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm (L×D×H) with ±0.1mm dimensional tolerances.
• Isolated Design: Independent resistors reduce crosstalk in critical circuits.
