GS8B021602CT Description

The GS8B021602CT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Packaged in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C series), it features 15 bussed resistors with a 16KΩ resistance value and an ultra-tight ±0.25% tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, this network delivers excellent stability with a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). The 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. Its ceramic case provides superior thermal and mechanical durability, while the gull-wing termination ensures secure surface mounting.
