GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are commonly used in electrical systems to protect circuits from overvoltage damage. GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS is a specific type of GDT designed to protect communications systems. By connecting to the circuits of the system, it can help reduce the impact of lightning surges and other transient voltages in the system.

The working principle of GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS is based on the operation of a gas-filled spark gap. The spark gap typically consists of two electrodes and a non-conductive medium between them. When the voltage between the two electrodes increases beyond the breakdown value, the medium ionizes and a spark will arc across the gap. When the spark is formed, it provides a path for the current to travel through, and the protection is provided by limiting the current flow through the spark. In addition, the spark gap \'resets\' after the transient surge or voltage is gone, and the system is back to normal.

The main application field of GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS is in the communication area and offers protection against lightning surges and other transients, such as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). It is also suitable for use with various types of communications systems, such as cellular, satellite, radio, low voltage, digital, and fiber optic systems.

GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS has several features that make it well-suited for communications system protection. It is designed with high surge capacitance for increased protection, and has an integrated four-electrode microwave design for improved performance. The entire system is designed with a built-in thermal and overload protection, and it is also tested to comply with IEC 61643-21 and IEC 61643-22 standards that provide a wide range of frequencies for protection. In addition, the GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS also has a low insertion loss and high breakdown voltage that offer an structure of high performance protection.

Overall, GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS is an ideal solution for communications systems that need high performance and reliable protection from transients. It offers a wide range of features, including high surge capacitance, integrated four-electrode microwave design, built-in thermal and overload protection, and a low insertion loss. It is also tested to comply with IEC 61643-21 and IEC 61643-22 standards, offering the necessary protection for a wide range of frequencies. Thus, GTCR38-421M-Q10-FS makes a reliable and high-performance protection solution for communications systems that need protection from transient voltages.
