GS8A032612CAT Description

The GS8A032612CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, designed for demanding electronic applications. Built with thin-film technology on a ceramic substrate, it delivers exceptional stability with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±0.25% absolute tolerance. Each resistor features a 26.1kΩ value, rated for 0.1W (1/10W) power dissipation per element (0.8W total). The SOIC-C series offers superior thermal performance, operating from 70°C to 125°C at derated power, with a 100V maximum voltage rating. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure reliable PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability.
