GS8B031582CAT Description

The GS8B031582CAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device features 15 bussed thin-film resistors, each with a 15.8KΩ resistance and an exceptional ±0.25% absolute tolerance (±0.05% ratio tolerance). Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for precision analog and digital circuits. Encased in a robust ceramic SOIC package, it offers superior thermal performance and reliability compared to polymer-based alternatives. With a 0.8W total power rating (0.05W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating, it balances compactness (9.91mm x 5.99mm x 1.45mm) with high-density integration.
