GS8B032801BT Description

The GS8B032801BT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding applications requiring tight tolerance and stable performance. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, it features 15 bussed (BUS) resistors with a 2.8KΩ resistance value and an exceptional ±0.1% absolute tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, the network delivers a low ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring minimal resistance drift across its operating range of -70°C to +125°C. With a 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and a total power rating of 0.8W, this component is engineered for reliability in precision circuits. Its 100V maximum voltage rating and surface-mount gull-wing termination make it suitable for compact, high-density PCB designs.
