GUS-QS8A-01-6800-GA Description

The GUS-QS8A-01-6800-GA from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications in surface-mount PCB assemblies. This 8-resistor isolated network features a 680Ω resistance value per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and a low ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -70°C to +125°C. Packaged in a compact 16-pin QSOP (QSOP-16) case, it offers a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and a 100V maximum voltage rating, making it suitable for demanding analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination ensures reliable solderability, while the thin-film technology provides superior accuracy and long-term stability compared to thick-film alternatives.
