TDK Corporation presents gas-filled EPCOS surge arresters that are designed especially for use in base stations. The components have three terminals and are able to extinguish overvoltages both from L to PE as well as N to PE. The LNP20C-A1800AC-6C surge arrester is designed for an operating voltage of 250 V AC. It meets the IEC 61643-11 requirements for classes I and II and with a waveform of 8/20 µs it offers a maximum discharge current of 16 kA (class II).
In order to offer the necessary overvoltage protection, the surge arrester is designed for a follow current of 1 kA. The response time is less than 100 ns. The RoHS-compatible component with the ordering code B88069X4023B201 is RoHS compatible and measures 39 mm x 26 mm x 27.5 mm and its insulation resistance is >1 GΩ at 100 V DC.
TDK Corporation presents gas-filled EPCOS surge arresters for base station applications.
Its main applications are for base stations and other telecommunications installations. The arrester offers a high discharge current of up to 16 kA and high follow current capability and it is suitable for IEC 61643-11 class I and II applications.
