GS8B0168R0DCT

GS8B0168R0DCT Description

The GS8B0168R0DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding surface-mount applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 15 bussed resistors, each with a 68Ω resistance and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%, ensuring exceptional accuracy. Built with thin-film technology, it offers a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, stable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C), and a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. The SOIC package (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with gull-wing termination ensures reliable PCB mounting, while its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power circuits.

GS8B0168R0DCT Features

• High Precision: ±0.5% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for critical applications.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case ensures durability and thermal stability.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports up to 100V, ideal for industrial and automotive environments (though not PPAP/automotive-certified).
• Low TCR: ±100ppm/°C minimizes resistance drift under temperature fluctuations.
• Compact & Reliable: Tight tolerances on dimensions (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth) ensure consistent PCB fit.
• Bussed Design: Simplifies circuit layout for bus line termination or pull-up/down networks.
