GS8B023481BT

GS8B023481BT Description

The GS8B023481BT 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 3.48KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.1% absolute tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, this network offers a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across a wide operating temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. With a power rating of 0.8W (0.05W per resistor) and a maximum voltage rating of 100V, it is engineered for reliability in precision circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy integration into compact PCB layouts.

GS8B023481BT Features

• High Precision: ±0.1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C TCR for stable performance.
• Robust Construction: Ceramic case (SOIC package) ensures durability and thermal stability.
• Optimized Power Handling: 0.8W total power dissipation (0.05W per resistor).
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from 70°C to 125°C with derated power.
• Space-Efficient: Compact 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth).
• Bussed Configuration: Simplifies circuit design by interconnecting resistors via a common bus (BUS designator).
• Surface-Mount Ready: Gull-wing terminals with 1.27mm pitch for automated assembly.

GS8B023481BT Applications

Ideal for precision analog and digital circuits requiring tight tolerance and thermal stability, including:

• Voltage dividers and sensor signal conditioning in industrial controls.
• ADC/DAC reference networks in test and measurement equipment.
• Feedback networks for op-amps and precision amplifiers.
• Automotive-grade alternatives (though not PPAP/Automotive certified, its performance suits harsh environments).
• Medical devices where consistent resistance values are critical.

Conclusion of GS8B023481BT

The GS8B023481BT stands out for its combination of precision, power efficiency, and compact design, making it a superior choice for high-reliability applications. Its ceramic SOIC package and thin-film technology provide long-term stability, while the bussed architecture reduces component count. While not RoHS-compliant or automotive-qualified, its 0.1% tolerance and low TCR make it ideal for professional and industrial electronics where accuracy is paramount.
