Description

The Littelfuse CG6 series GDT is a miniature surface-

mount device with a 3kA 8/20 surge rating. This

ITU-T K.12 Class 1, Type 1 GDT provides protection

against fast rising transients typically caused by

nearby lightning events. Its low insertion loss and

thus low off-state capacitance makes it compatible

with high bandwidth applications up to the GHz

RF range. This GDT’s crowbarring characteristic

protects sensitive ICs from surges as defined in ITU

K.20/21/45 Basic and Enhanced Recommendations,

GR-1089-CORE first level lightning Port Type 1,3, and

is hermetically sealed using non-radioactive materials

and is thus environmentally safe.
