GS8B026800CAT Description

The GS8B026800CAT 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 680Ω resistance value and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Built using thin-film technology, this network delivers stable performance with a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliability across a -70°C to +125°C operating range. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 100V maximum voltage rating make it suitable for precision circuits. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.
