GS8B038660FCT Description

The GS8B038660FCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision ceramic resistor network designed for demanding electronic applications. This 16-pin narrow SOIC device integrates 15 bussed resistors with a 866Ω resistance value, offering ±1% absolute tolerance and ±0.25% ratio tolerance. Built with thin-film technology, it ensures excellent stability with a ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The network operates over a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C derated, 125°C max) and features a 0.05W (1/20) power rating per resistor, totaling 0.8W for the entire array. Its 100V maximum voltage rating and surface-mount gull-wing termination make it suitable for compact, high-reliability designs.
