GUS-QS8B-02-3160-D Description

The GUS-QS8B-02-3160-D from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision thin-film resistor network designed for demanding surface-mount applications. This 16-pin QSOP package features 15 resistors, each with a 316Ω resistance value and an ultra-tight ±0.5% tolerance, ensuring exceptional accuracy in circuit designs. With a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it delivers stable performance across a wide operating range of -70°C to +125°C, making it suitable for environments with thermal fluctuations. The 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating (0.05W per resistor) and 100V maximum voltage rating provide robust handling of moderate power loads. Its gull-wing termination and 0.64mm terminal pitch facilitate reliable PCB mounting in space-constrained layouts.
