GS8A031600FFT

GS8A031600FFT Description

The GS8A031600FFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low thermal drift. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 160Ω resistance and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance (with ±1% ratio tolerance). Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal resistance variation across the 70°C to 125°C operating range. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations (1.27mm pitch) is optimized for surface-mount assembly, offering robust mechanical stability in compact designs. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total), it is ideal for analog signal conditioning, voltage division, and impedance matching.
