Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

Transient voltage and transient current events, commonly known as power surges, voltage surges, or current spikes, are a relatively frequent occurrence for many electronics applications. Transient ...

TE Circuit Protection 5 mm, 2-pole GDTs (ceramic gas discharge tubes), are commonly used to help protect sensitive telecom equipment such as communication lines, signal lines and data transmission ...

Telecommunications equipment must be able to survive surges and power faults as defined in the relevant standards. Survivability is achievable by providing protection remotely, at the terminals of the ...
