GS8B021601CAT Description

The GS8B021601CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 15 bussed thin-film resistors, each with a 1.6KΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Built with a rectangular ceramic SOIC package, it offers superior thermal stability and reliability, operating within a temperature range of 70°C to 125°C (derated power) and a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. With a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, this network ensures minimal resistance drift under varying conditions. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits.
