GS8A038201CAT Description

The GS8A038201CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, designed for demanding applications requiring tight tolerance and stability. Built with thin-film technology on a ceramic substrate, it offers excellent thermal performance and reliability. The network features isolated elements with a resistance value of 8.2KΩ, an absolute tolerance of ±0.25%, and a ratio tolerance of ±0.05%, ensuring minimal deviation in matched circuits. With a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it maintains stability across a wide operating range (70°C to 125°C derated, 125°C max). The 0.1W power rating per resistor (0.8W total) and 100V max voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and signal conditioning circuits.
