GS8A038660CT Description

The GS8A038660CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor isolated network in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, designed for demanding electronic applications. Built with thin-film technology on a ceramic substrate, it delivers exceptional stability with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and a tight ±0.25% tolerance. Each resistor offers 0.1W (1/10W) power dissipation, totaling 0.8W for the network, and operates within a 70°C to 125°C derated temperature range, peaking at 125°C. Its 100V maximum voltage rating and 866Ω resistance value make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure reliable PCB integration, while the SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) meets space-constrained layouts.
