GS8A036202CAT

GS8A036202CAT Description

The GS8A036202CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 8 isolated thin-film resistors, each with a resistance value of 62 kΩ and an absolute tolerance of ±0.25%. The network operates within a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, ensuring stability in harsh environments. With a ±25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and a 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total), it delivers exceptional accuracy and thermal performance. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing terminations ensures reliable surface-mount assembly.
