GS8A032871CT Description

The GS8A032871CT by TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 2.87 kΩ and an exceptional ±0.25% tolerance. The device operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a low temperature coefficient (±25 ppm/°C), ensuring stability in varying environmental conditions. Its 100V maximum voltage rating and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) make it suitable for precision circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability and thermal performance.
