CG5 and SL0902A Series
Description
Littelfuse Broadband Optimized SL0902A Series offers
high surge ratings in a miniature package. Special design
features provide high levels of protection against fast
rising transients in the 100V/μs to 1kV/μs range usually
caused by lightning disturbances. Low insertion loss is
perfectly suited to broadband equipment applications.
The capacitance does not vary with voltage, and will
not cause operational problems with ADSL2+, where
capacitance variation across Tip and Ring is undesirable.
These devices are extremely robust and are able to
divert a 2500A pulse without destruction. For AC
Power Cross of long duration, overcurrent protection is
recommended.
Littelfuse CG5 MS mini surge arresters are specifically
designed for protection of electrical and communication
equipment against over voltage transients in surface
mount assembly applications. This series offers the most
cutting edge protection using non-radioactive elements.
Features
RoHS compliant and
Lead-free
