Littelfuse CG6230SM

The CG6 series gas discharge tube is a miniature surface-mount device with a 3kA 8/20 surge rating. Compliant with ITU-T K.12 Class 1, Type 1, this gas discharge tube provides protection against fast-rising transients typically caused by nearby lightning strike events. Its low insertion loss and extremely low off-state capacitance make it compatible with high-bandwidth applications up to the GHz RF range. The crowbar characteristics of the gas discharge tube protect sensitive ICs from surge events, with surge definitions conforming to ITU K.20/21/45 basic and enhanced recommendations, GR-1089-CORE Category 1 lightning ports Types 1, 3, and 5, and IEC 61000-4-5 Edition 2 Level 5 and below. It is hermetically sealed using non-radioactive materials, making it environmentally safe.
