GS8A031800GGT Description

The GS8A031800GGT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and robust thermal performance. This 16-pin narrow SOIC package features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 180Ω resistance and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, with a derated power capability up to 125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient minimizes resistance drift, making it ideal for precision analog and digital circuits. The SOIC-C series construction provides excellent mechanical stability, with a compact footprint (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) and gull-wing terminations for easy surface-mount assembly.
