GS8B026800FT Description

The GS8B026800FT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications in demanding electronic circuits. Packaged in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C Series), this bussed network integrates 15 thin-film resistors, each with a 680Ω resistance and a tight ±1% tolerance. Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for environments with thermal fluctuations. The device offers a 0.05W (1/20W) power rating per resistor and a total power rating of 0.8W, with a maximum voltage rating of 100V. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances durability and heat dissipation.

GS8B026800FT Features

• Precision Thin-Film Technology: Delivers high accuracy (±1%) and low TCR (±50ppm/°C) for stable resistance values.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Ensures mechanical strength and thermal reliability in harsh conditions.
• Bussed Network Design: Simplifies circuit layout with 15 resistors connected to a common bus, reducing component count.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -70°C to +125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive-grade applications (though not PPAP/automotive certified).
• Compact SOIC-16 Footprint: Saves board space with 9.91mm length, 5.99mm depth, and 1.45mm height (±0.1mm tolerances).
• High Voltage Handling: Supports up to 100V, suitable for power distribution and signal conditioning circuits.
