Gas Discharge Tubes
GTCX28-XXXM-R05 Series
Raychem Circuit Protection Products 8mm 2Pole
GDTs (ceramic gas discharge tubes), are
commonly used to help protect sensitive telecom
equipment such as communication lines, signal
lines and data transmission lines from damage
caused by transient surge voltages that typically
result from lightning strikes and equipment
switching operations.
Raychem Circuit Protection Products GDTs offer a
high level of surge protection, low capacitance and
a broad array of breakover voltage levels, making
them suitable for applications such as MDF (Main
Distribution Frame) modules, high data-rate
telecom applications (e.g. ADSL, VDSL), and
surge protection on power lines. Raychem Circuit
Protection GDTs, can help equipment meet the
most stringent regulatory standards.
Benefits:
•
Helps provide overvoltage fault protection against
high energy surges
•
Suitable for high-frequency applications
Features:
•
2Pole, 8mm devices
•
Broad voltage range from 75V-600V
•
Various form factors: surface mount, axial leads, no
leads
•
Low capacitance and insertion loss
•
UL 497B recognized
•
RoHS compliant
•
Devices tested per ITU K.12 recommendations
•
Non-radioactive materials
Applications:
•
Telecommunications
- MDF modules, xDSL equipment, RF system
protection, antenna, base station
•
