General Specifications




   Mounting       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Wall / Panel / Backboard Mount
 
     Surge suppressors have bolting or mounting holes so that they can be attached to a wall or backboard.
 
   DIN Rail
 
     Surge suppressors mount on a DIN rail.
 
   Hard-Wired / Device Mount
 
     Surge suppressors mount on or within the device that is to be protected from surges.
 
   In-Line / Integrally Attached
 
     Surge suppressors are threaded, or are designed for integral attachment to conduits, cabling, etc.
 
   Plug-in Module
 
     Surge suppressors are modules that plug into an existing system or surge suppression device.
 
   PCB Mount
 
     Surge suppressors are wired or soldered onto printed circuit boards (PCBs).

   Technology       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   MOV
 
     Metal oxide varistors (MOV) have high-energy capabilities, good reliability, and consistent performance. They also have a non-linear clamping curve and fatigue rapidly at higher amperage levels.
 
   Silicon Avalanche Diode
 
     Silicon avalanche diodes have high clamping voltages, but a limited power-handling capacity that is destroyed easily by the power levels encountered in typical power-line surges. Silicon avalanche diodes are used most often in data-line protectors and on circuit boards as static protectors.
 
   Silicon Thyristor Diode
 
     Silicon thyristor diodes are used mainly to protect telecom systems.
 
   Gas Tube
 
     Gas tubes have higher energy capabilities than either MOVs or diodes. They typically consist of two electrodes held at a close distance so that high voltages between the electrodes simply arc through the air to effectively clamp the voltage. Gas tubes are very slow, but can handle very large surges.
 
   Hybrid
 
     Hybrids attempt to incorporate all the major advantages of many of the individual components, while collectively overcoming their individual faults.
 
   Other
 
     Other, less commonly used technologies include spark gaps, selenium, and Zener diodes.

Performance




   Maximum Surge Current
 
     Maximum surge current is the maximum current allowed for a single impulse waveform with a continuous voltage applied. This value indicates the protection capacity of a particular surge suppressor design, and is used in specifying a product for a given application. A higher-level surge current capacity is required for a high-exposure application where there are very large transients present from lightning.
