Littelfuse CG590LS

The SL0902A series gas discharge tubes deliver high surge ratings in a miniature package. Their special design characteristics provide a high level of protection against fast transients with rise rates ranging from 100V/μs to 1kV/μs, typically caused by lightning interference. Low insertion loss makes them ideal for broadband equipment applications. Their capacitance does not vary with voltage, which prevents operational issues in ADSL2+ applications where capacitance variation across the line is undesirable. These devices are extremely robust, capable of shunting 2500A pulses without damage. For prolonged AC power cross-interference, overcurrent protection is recommended. The CG5 series miniature surge protectors are designed to protect electrical and communications equipment in SMT applications from overvoltage transients. This series uses non-radioactive components to provide state-of-the-art protection.
