STC-642 Series, Data/Signal Line Protection
The STC-642 series of surge suppressors are dual pair (four
wire) modules using three-stage hybrid technology. This
module addresses over voltage transients with gas tubes
and silicon avalanche components. In addition, sneak and
fault currents are mitigated with resetable fuses (PTCs). The
PTCs increase resistance several orders of magnitude when
over currents exceed safe levels. A normal state resumes
when over currents are removed. The ability to self restore in
this manner signicantly increases suppressor performance
and survivability.
The STC-642 card edge module is gold-plated, double
sided and is designed to mate with the STC-642 gold-plated
female terminal connector (sold separately). When snapped
together, the data circuits pass thru the protector in a serial
fashion from the four Field Side terminals to the four
Electronics Side terminals. Terminals 1 or 10 of the
STC-PCB1B must be attached to building approved ground.
Application
Intended for indoor use on communication loop circuits
which have been isolated from the Public Switch
Telephone Network.
