GS8A036981FT Description

The GS8A036981FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor network designed for demanding isolation and signal conditioning applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C) ceramic package, it features isolated thin-film resistors with a tight tolerance of ±1% and a low temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating range (70°C to 125°C). Each resistor offers a 6.98KΩ value, rated for 0.1W (1/10W) per element and a maximum voltage of 100V, making it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical reliability.
