GS8A031960FFT

GS8A031960FFT Description

The GS8A031960FFT 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 device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a 196Ω resistance and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal resistance drift across the -70°C to +125°C operating range, making it suitable for environments with fluctuating temperatures. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations facilitates easy surface mounting, while the ceramic construction enhances durability and heat dissipation. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V maximum voltage, it balances power handling with compactness.
