GS8A031653GFT

GS8A031653GFT Description

The GS8A031653GFT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 165 kΩ resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance (±1% ratio tolerance). Its SOIC-C series construction ensures robust performance in demanding environments, with a ±25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient for minimal drift. The network operates within a 70°C to 125°C derated power range, with a maximum voltage rating of 100V and 0.1W power dissipation per resistor (0.8W total). Encased in a rectangular ceramic package, it offers superior thermal stability and mechanical durability.

GS8A031653GFT Features

• Isolated Resistors: 8 independent elements for flexible circuit design.
• Precision Stability: ±25 ppm/°C TCR ensures reliable performance across temperature fluctuations.
• High Power Handling: 0.8W total dissipation (0.1W per resistor) in a compact 9.91 x 5.99 x 1.45 mm footprint.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case with gull-wing termination for secure surface mounting (SOIC-16).
• Wide Operating Range: Suitable for -55°C to +125°C, with derated power up to 125°C.
• Low Tolerance: ±2% absolute and ±1% ratio tolerance for precision applications.

GS8A031653GFT Applications

Ideal for high-reliability systems requiring stable resistance networks, such as:

• Industrial Automation: Signal conditioning, PLCs, and sensor interfaces.
• Medical Electronics: Patient monitoring and diagnostic equipment.
• Telecommunications: RF matching networks and line termination.
• Automotive (Non-Automotive Rated): Infotainment and control modules (where PPAP compliance is not required).
• Test & Measurement: Calibration circuits and precision dividers.

Conclusion of GS8A031653GFT

The GS8A031653GFT stands out for its ceramic-based isolation, low TCR, and high power density, making it a superior choice over plastic-encased networks in harsh environments. While not RoHS-compliant, its thin-film technology and tight tolerances cater to niche applications demanding long-term stability. Engineers will appreciate its balance of performance, durability, and space efficiency in critical designs.
