GS8A031802BBT Description

The GS8A031802BBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring tight tolerance and stability. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this 8-resistor isolated network features 18KΩ resistance with an absolute tolerance of ±0.1% and a ratio tolerance of ±0.1%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. Built with thin-film technology, it delivers a low temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, maintaining performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). The SOIC-C series construction offers 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total), 100V maximum voltage rating, and gull-wing termination for reliable surface-mount assembly. Its ceramic case ensures durability, while the compact 9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm footprint suits space-constrained designs.
