Active
Overview
The 2027-23-ALF is a 2-pole Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) designed to provide high-current surge protection for sensitive electronic equipment. It features a nominal DC sparkover voltage of 230V and can handle impulse discharge currents up to 10kA (8/20us). This specific variant is a cylinder-style component without leads, intended for user-defined mounting configurations.
Why Choose This Part
The component offers extremely low capacitance, making it ideal for high-speed data circuits where signal integrity is critical. With a 10kA surge current rating and UL recognition, it provides reliable, long-term protection over a wide operating temperature range of -55C to +125C.
Applications
Telecommunications Equipment
Protects line cards and subscriber equipment from lightning-induced surges on outdoor copper lines.
Industrial Control Systems
Safeguards PLC inputs and communication ports in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Data Communication Lines
Used in modems and routers to prevent high-voltage transients from damaging internal circuitry.
Power Supplies
Acts as a primary protector for AC/DC converters against grid switching surges.
