GS8B031802DT Description

The GS8B031802DT 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 18KΩ resistance value and an absolute tolerance of ±0.5%. The thin-film technology ensures low temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), making it stable across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. With a power rating of 0.8W (0.05W per resistor) and maximum voltage rating of 100V, this component is engineered for reliability in precision circuits. Its gull-wing termination and surface-mount design facilitate easy PCB integration, while the ceramic case enhances thermal and mechanical durability.
