Gas Discharge Tubes(GDT)
Description
Gas discharge tubes (GDT) use noble gasses enclosed in
ceramic tubes to provide an alternate circuit path for voltage
spikes. The ceramic envelope and with nickel connectors
allow for high loads. SMD4042 Gas Discharge Tubes
(GDT) series has a surge rating of 3kA, 8/20μs.Offered in a
Squared Surface Mount package, which helps to make pick
and place on PCB process easier.
This GDT series is perfectly suited for broadband
equipment applications. The GDT’s low off-state
capacitance is compatible with high bandwidth applications
and this capacitance loading value does not vary if the
voltage across the GDT changes.
SMD4042 Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) series are
specifically designed for protection of electrical, multimedia,
and communication equipment against over voltage
transients in surface mount assembly applications.
