GS8A038870CBT Description

The GS8A038870CBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision 8-resistor network designed for demanding isolation and signal conditioning applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC ceramic package, it features isolated thin-film resistors with a tight tolerance of ±0.25% and an ultra-stable ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Each resistor offers a 0.1W (1/10W) power rating, with a combined 0.8W total power dissipation across the network. The device operates over a wide temperature range (-70°C to +125°C) and supports 100V maximum voltage ratings, making it suitable for high-reliability environments. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes.

GS8A038870CBT Features

• Precision Performance: 887Ω resistance with ±0.25% absolute tolerance and ±0.1% ratio tolerance for matched applications.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic SOIC case ensures durability and thermal stability in harsh conditions.
• High-Density Integration: 8 isolated resistors in a compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm footprint.
• Low TCR: ±25ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift across temperature variations.
• Automation-Friendly: 1.27mm terminal pitch and gull-wing leads for seamless PCB mounting.
• Wide Operating Range: -70°C to +125°C derated power capability.

GS8A038870CBT Applications
