GS8A032551CT Description

The GS8A032551CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision, thin-film resistor network designed for demanding isolation applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features 8 isolated resistors with a tight tolerance of ±0.25% and a low temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating range (70°C to 125°C). Each resistor offers a 2.55KΩ value with a 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per element, totaling 0.8W for the network. The device is rated for 100V maximum voltage and employs gull-wing terminations for reliable surface-mount assembly. Its 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm compact footprint and ±0.1mm dimensional tolerances make it suitable for high-density PCB designs.
