2026-40-C4

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are popular for their prevalence in surge protection applications, often being specified in complicated electronic systems such as computer and communications networks. Among the GDTs, 2026-40-C4 is a reliable and cost effective solution for various applications.

What is 2026-40-C4?

2026-40-C4 is considered to be a lightweight and flexible both in terms of structural design and installation. It is a leadless and encapsulated gas discharge tube arrester, which uses NTV coating process to ensure a secure connection. It has a maximum operating voltage of 9.5kV and a rated voltage of 6kV. It is also UL listed and VDE approved, and its construction is composed of plastic and rubber materials.

Applications Fields for 2026-40-C4

As an effective surge protection device, 2026-40-C4 can be applied to many different areas. It is widely used in mobile communication networks, satellite signals receiving systems, traffic signal control systems, elevator, CCTV, and other electronic systems that require reliable protection.

It also has a wide range of consumer applications such as medical equipment, home appliance circuits, and other low voltage systems.

Working Principle of 2026-40-C4

The working principle of 2026-40-C4 is based on the principle of a gas discharge tube and spark gap. When a large voltages surge occurs, the gas in the tube is rapidly ionized, causing a short circuit between the two electrodes. This effectively clamps the voltage down and protects the equipment or circuit.

2026-40-C4 is a portable, reliable and cost-effective solution for surge protection applications.
