DESCRIPTION

The SMP100LC-xxx series is a very low capacitance transient surge arrestor designed for the protection of high debit rate communication equipment. Its low capacitance avoid any distorsion of the signal.

FEATURES

■ Bidirectional crowbar protection

■ Low capacitance : C = 30 PF TYP @ 50V

■ Low leakage current : IR = 2 µA MAX

■ Repetitive peak pulse current : IPP = 100 A (10/1000µS)

■ Holding current: IH = 150 mA

BENEFITS

■ No ageing and no noise

■ Short circuit in failure mode, thus still ensuring protection

■ Board space saving

MAIN APPLICATIONS

Any sensitive equipment requiring protection against lightning strikes and power crossing:

■ Analog and digital line cards (xDSL, T1/ E1, ISDN...)

■ Gas tube replacement

■ Terminals and transmission equipment
