GS8B031621DCT

GS8B031621DCT Description

The GS8B031621DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this bussed (BUS) resistor array integrates 15 thin-film resistors, each with a 1.62KΩ resistance and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%. The device operates over a wide temperature range of 70°C to 125°C with a low temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance under thermal stress. Its 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power circuits, while the 100V maximum voltage rating adds versatility. The gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration.

GS8B031621DCT Features

• Precision Thin-Film Technology: Delivers ±0.5% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance for critical analog applications.
• Robust Ceramic Package: Ensures durability and thermal stability in harsh environments.
• Low TCR (±25ppm/°C): Minimizes resistance drift across temperature fluctuations.
• Compact SOIC-16 Form Factor: 9.91mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm dimensions with tight tolerances (±0.1mm height/length, ±0.2mm depth) save board space.
• Bussed Configuration: Simplifies circuit design by connecting multiple resistors to a common node.
• High Voltage Handling: Supports up to 100V, ideal for industrial and automotive subsystems (though not PPAP/automotive-qualified).
