GS8A038200FT

GS8A038200FT Description

The GS8A038200FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and robust thermal performance. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this 8-resistor isolated network features 820Ω resistance per element with a tight ±1% tolerance and a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its thin-film technology ensures excellent accuracy and reliability, while the ceramic case style enhances durability and heat dissipation. Rated for 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total), it operates across a wide temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.
