GS8A038450BT

GS8A038450BT Description

The GS8A038450BT 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 exceptional stability with a ±0.1% absolute tolerance and a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its thin-film technology ensures reliable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C), making it suitable for precision circuits. With a resistance value of 845Ω per element and a power rating of 0.1W per resistor (0.8W total), this component is engineered for accuracy and durability in surface-mount designs. The gull-wing termination and 100V maximum voltage rating further enhance its versatility in high-density PCB layouts.
