GS8B036040GBT

GS8B036040GBT Description

The GS8B036040GBT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance ceramic resistor network designed for precision applications. Housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, this bussed array integrates 15 thin-film resistors with a 604Ω resistance value and a tight ±2% absolute tolerance. Its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range (70°C to 125°C), while the 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor and 0.8W total power rating make it suitable for low-power circuits. The 100V maximum voltage rating and gull-wing termination enable reliable surface-mount (SMD) integration in space-constrained designs.

GS8B036040GBT Features

• Ceramic SOIC-C Series: Robust rectangular ceramic case with ±0.1mm height/length tolerances for mechanical durability.
• Precision Thin Film: Delivers ±0.1% ratio tolerance for matched resistor performance in differential circuits.
• High-Temperature Operation: Rated for 125°C max, derated up to 125°C, ideal for harsh environments.
• Bussed Network: Simplified PCB layout with common BUS designator, reducing component count.
• Low TCR (±25ppm/°C): Minimizes resistance drift under thermal stress vs. thicker-film alternatives.

GS8B036040GBT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Analog Signal Conditioning: Voltage dividers, sensor interfaces (e.g., thermocouples) requiring matched tolerances.
• Industrial Controls: PLCs, motor drives where high-temperature stability is critical.
• Medical Electronics: Patient monitoring systems leveraging its low noise and precision.
• Automotive (Non-Automotive Rated): Prototyping or non-safety-critical circuits needing ceramic reliability.

Conclusion of GS8B036040GBT

The GS8B036040GBT stands out for its ceramic construction, thin-film accuracy, and bussed topology, offering superior thermal and electrical consistency. While not PPAP or RoHS compliant, its 2% tolerance, 25ppm/°C TCR, and 16-pin SOIC format make it a cost-effective choice for precision networks in industrial, medical, and instrumentation designs. Engineers benefit from reduced BOM complexity and assured performance in thermally dynamic environments.
