GUS-QS8A-03-1600-GC Description

The GUS-QS8A-03-1600-GC 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 160Ω resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and an ultra-stable ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a wide temperature range (70°C to 125°C). Housed in a compact 16-pin QSOP (QSOP-16) package, it offers a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.1W per resistor) and supports 100V maximum voltage, making it suitable for demanding analog and digital circuits. The gull-wing termination ensures secure surface-mount attachment, while its thin-film technology provides superior accuracy and long-term stability compared to thick-film alternatives.
