GS8A0356R0DCT Description

The GS8A0356R0DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, designed for demanding circuit applications requiring stable performance. Built with thin-film technology on a ceramic substrate, it offers excellent thermal stability with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±0.5% absolute tolerance (±0.25% ratio tolerance). Each resistor features a 56Ω resistance value and 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per element, with a total power handling of 0.8W. The device operates over a wide temperature range (-70°C to +125°C) and supports 100V maximum voltage, making it suitable for high-reliability environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes.
