GS8A031603BT Description

The GS8A031603BT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 160 kΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.1% tolerance. The device operates within a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C, ensuring stability in harsh environments. With a ±25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it delivers minimal resistance drift, making it ideal for precision circuits. The SOIC-C series construction provides robust ceramic encapsulation, enhancing durability and thermal performance. Rated for 100V maximum voltage and 0.1W power dissipation per resistor, it balances compactness (9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm) with reliability.
