GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA Description

The GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance 8-resistor thin-film network designed for precision applications. Encased in a 16-pin QSOP package with gull-wing SMD termination, this device offers a 215K Ohm resistance per resistor with a tight 2% tolerance and an ultra-stable ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Rated for 0.75W (3/4W) total power and 0.1W (1/10W) per resistor, it operates reliably across a 70°C to 125°C derated power range, with a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. Its isolated (ISOL) circuit design ensures minimal crosstalk, while the 100V maximum voltage rating and thin-film technology deliver exceptional accuracy and durability in demanding environments.

GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA Features

• Precision Thin Film: Ensures low noise, high stability, and tight resistance tolerances (±2%).
• Compact QSOP Package: Measures just 4.9mm (L) x 6.02mm (D) x 1.47mm (H), ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.
• High Power Handling: 0.75W total power with derating up to 125°C, superior to standard networks.
• Isolated Resistors: Independent resistors (ISOL design) prevent signal interference in multi-channel circuits.
• Robust Construction: Gull-wing termination and 0.64mm terminal pitch ensure reliable surface-mount assembly.
• Wide Temp Range: Stable performance from -55°C to 125°C (non-derated) and 70°C to 125°C (derated).

GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Precision Analog Circuits: Voltage dividers, feedback networks, and sensor conditioning in test/measurement equipment.
• Industrial Electronics: PLCs, motor drives, and power supplies requiring stable resistance under thermal stress.
• Medical Devices: Patient monitoring systems where accuracy and reliability are critical.
• Telecom Infrastructure: Signal processing and filtering in base stations and RF modules.
• Automotive (Non-Automotive Rated): Non-safety-critical systems like infotainment or climate control (note: not PPAP/automotive certified).

Conclusion of GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA

The GUS-QS8A-03-2153-GA stands out for its precision, power efficiency, and compact form factor, making it a top choice for engineers needing reliable resistor networks in high-density designs. While not RoHS-compliant or automotive-grade, its thin-film isolation, wide temperature range, and robust packaging make it ideal for industrial, medical, and telecom applications where performance outweighs regulatory requirements. Its tube packaging ensures safe handling during assembly, further enhancing its appeal for volume production.
