GS8A038250CAT

GS8A038250CAT Description

The GS8A038250CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this 8-resistor isolated network offers excellent stability with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and a tight ±0.25% absolute tolerance. Each resistor features a 825Ω resistance value and a 0.1W (1/10W) power rating per element, with a combined 0.8W total power dissipation. The thin-film technology ensures low noise and high reliability, while the 100V maximum voltage rating and 125°C maximum operating temperature make it suitable for harsh environments.

GS8A038250CAT Features

• Precision Performance: ±0.25% absolute tolerance and ±0.05% ratio tolerance for accurate signal conditioning.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case with gull-wing termination for reliable surface-mount assembly.
• Thermal Stability: ±25ppm/°C TCR ensures minimal resistance drift across -70°C to +125°C.
• Compact Design: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm (L×D×H) footprint, ideal for space-constrained PCBs.
• High Voltage Handling: Supports up to 100V, making it suitable for industrial and instrumentation applications.
• Non-Automotive Grade: Optimized for general-purpose use where PPAP compliance is not required.

GS8A038250CAT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Precision analog circuits (e.g., DAC/ADC reference dividers, sensor signal conditioning).
• Medical equipment requiring stable, low-drift resistance networks.
• Test & measurement systems where tight tolerance and thermal stability are critical.
• Industrial control systems operating in wide temperature ranges.
• Communication infrastructure (e.g., impedance matching, RF filtering).

Conclusion of GS8A038250CAT

The GS8A038250CAT combines high precision, thermal resilience, and compact packaging, making it a standout choice for engineers needing reliable resistor networks in critical circuits. Its ceramic construction, thin-film technology, and isolated design provide superior performance over plastic-encapsulated alternatives, particularly in environments with elevated temperatures or stringent accuracy requirements. While not RoHS-compliant, its technical merits make it ideal for professional and industrial applications where durability and precision take precedence.
