Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Products SL1021A/B Series SL1021A/B Series Description GDT circuit protection devices dissipate electrical surge energy safely within a contained plasma gas. Commonly used to help protect sensitive telecom and networking equipment and lines, GDTs protect from damage that may result from lightning strikes and equipment switching operations. The Littelfuse GDT series described in this document are available in a variety of leaded and surface mount forms and offered with and without optional fail- safe clip. Please refer to the electrical specifications, dimension and packaging options section of this document for additional information. Agency Approvals SL1021A/B Series: SL1021A/B series GDTs are designed to offer high AGENCY AGENCY FILE NUMBER levels of performance on fast rising transients in the range of 100V/S to 1KV/S, which are those most E128662 likely created by induced lightning disturbances. These devices feature ultra low capacitance (typically 3 Electrode GDT Graphical Symbol 1.5pF or less) and are extremely robust with SL1021A devices able to divert a 10,000 Amp pulse without destruction, and SL1021B suffix devices able to divert a b a = TIP a 20,000 Amp pulse without destruction. b = RING These series offer optimized internal geometry which e = GROUND (center electrode) provide low insertion loss at high frequencies, ideal for the protection of broadband and other high speed e transmission equipment.
