GS8A031820DCT

GS8A031820DCT Description

The GS8A031820DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring stable performance across a wide temperature range. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 182Ω and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal resistance drift, making it ideal for precision circuits. The network operates within a 70°C to 125°C derated power range, with a maximum voltage rating of 100V and a power rating of 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total). The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical stability.
