GS8A036491FAT Description

The GS8A036491FAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features isolated elements with a 6.49KΩ resistance value and a tight ±1% absolute tolerance, ensuring exceptional accuracy. The device operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for stable performance in varying environmental conditions. Its thin-film technology and 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) provide reliable power dissipation, while the 100V maximum voltage rating ensures robustness in high-voltage circuits.

GS8A036491FAT Features

• Ceramic Case & SOIC Package: Offers superior thermal stability and mechanical durability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistors: Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, enabling flexible circuit design.
• Precision Tolerance: ±1% absolute tolerance and ±0.05% ratio tolerance for high-accuracy applications.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -55°C to +125°C, with derated power up to 125°C.
• Gull Wing Termination: Ensures secure surface-mount (SMD) attachment with a 1.27mm terminal pitch.
• Low TCR: ±25ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress.
