GS8B013241CAT Description

The GS8B013241CAT 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 bussed (BUS) configuration integrates 15 thin-film resistors, each with a 3.24KΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Its ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range of 70°C to 125°C, with a maximum voltage rating of 100V. The SOIC-C series construction offers robust performance in surface-mount (SMD) applications, featuring gull-wing termination for reliable PCB connectivity.

GS8B013241CAT Features

• Precision Engineering: Thin-film technology delivers 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor (0.8W total), ensuring low noise and high accuracy.
• Thermal Resilience: Operates reliably up to 125°C with derated power capabilities.
• Compact & Robust: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions (±0.1mm tolerance) in a ceramic SOIC case for durability.
• Stable Performance: ±100ppm/°C TCR minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress.
• Automation-Friendly: Tube packaging simplifies handling in high-volume assembly.
