GS8A036982CT Description

The GS8A036982CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features 69.8 kΩ thin-film resistors with an exceptional ±0.25% tolerance and a low ±25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C. The SOIC-C series construction offers 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total), 100V maximum voltage rating, and gull-wing termination for reliable surface-mount assembly. Its 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm compact footprint (±0.1mm dimensional tolerance) makes it ideal for space-constrained designs.

GS8A036982CT Features

• Isolated Circuit Design: Each of the 8 resistors is electrically isolated, enabling flexible circuit configurations.
• High Precision: ±0.25% absolute tolerance and ±25 ppm/°C TCR ensure minimal drift in critical applications.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case and thin-film technology provide superior thermal and long-term stability.
• Wide Temperature Range: Derated operation up to 125°C for harsh environments.
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch simplify PCB assembly.
• Non-Automotive Grade: Suitable for industrial, medical, and instrumentation use where PPAP compliance is not required.

GS8A036982CT Applications

This resistor network excels in precision analog circuits, including:

• Voltage dividers and sensor signal conditioning in test/measurement equipment.
• Feedback networks for op-amps and ADCs/DACs requiring tight tolerance matching.
• Medical devices (e.g., patient monitoring) where stability and accuracy are critical.
• Industrial control systems exposed to elevated temperatures or thermal cycling.
• Avionics and defense electronics leveraging its ceramic package reliability.

Conclusion of GS8A036982CT

The GS8A036982CT stands out for its combination of precision, isolation, and ruggedness in a compact SOIC format.
