GS8B0256R2GDT Description

The GS8B0256R2GDT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications in demanding electronic circuits. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this bussed network integrates 15 resistors with a common 56.2Ω value, offering a ±2% absolute tolerance and ±0.5% ratio tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, it ensures excellent stability with a low ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The device operates over a wide temperature range (-70°C to +125°C) and supports a maximum voltage rating of 100V, making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments (though not PPAP or Automotive-qualified). Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power dissipation balance compactness with reliability.

GS8B0256R2GDT Features

• Ceramic substrate for enhanced thermal and mechanical stability.
• Gull-wing termination for robust surface-mount assembly (SOIC-16).
• Bussed configuration simplifies PCB layout in bus-line applications.
• Low TCR (±50ppm/°C) ensures minimal resistance drift under thermal stress.
• High voltage tolerance (100V) for industrial power systems.
• Precision thin-film resistors with ±2% tolerance and ±0.5% ratio matching.
• Compact footprint: 9.91mm (L) × 5.99mm (D) × 1.45mm (H) with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length).

GS8B0256R2GDT Applications

Ideal for voltage division, pull-up/pull-down networks, and bus termination in:

• Industrial control systems requiring stable resistance under thermal cycling.
• Test and measurement equipment demanding precision ratio matching.
• Communication infrastructure (e.g., line drivers, impedance matching).
• Power management circuits where high-voltage tolerance is critical.
• Non-automotive embedded systems needing compact, multi-resistor solutions.

Conclusion of GS8B0256R2GDT

The GS8B0256R2GDT excels in space-constrained, high-reliability designs due to its ceramic construction, tight tolerances, and bussed architecture. While not RoHS-compliant or automotive-grade, its thermal performance, voltage rating, and thin-film precision make it a standout choice for industrial and instrumentation applications. Engineers will appreciate its balance of density, power handling, and stability in complex circuit designs.
