GS8B011541DCT

GS8B011541DCT Description

The GS8B011541DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 15 bussed resistors with a 1.54KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.5% absolute tolerance (±0.25% ratio tolerance). Built using thin-film technology, this network delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C) with a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating ensure reliability in compact, high-density circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.

GS8B011541DCT Features

• Precision Tolerance: ±0.5% absolute, ±0.25% ratio tolerance for accurate signal conditioning.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic SOIC package ensures high thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Wide Operating Range: Rated for -55°C to +125°C, derated at 70°C to 125°C.
• Low TCR: ±100ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under temperature fluctuations.
• High Voltage Rating: Supports up to 100V, suitable for industrial and automotive environments.
• Compact Footprint: 9.91mm (L) x 5.99mm (D) x 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
• Bussed Configuration: Simplifies circuit design by connecting multiple resistors to a common node.
