SL1411A250C

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are an important type of electrical device used to protect circuits from potentially damaging electrostatic discharges and surges. The SL1411A250C is a GDT specifically designed to be used in industrial and telecom applications. This device has a breakdown voltage of 250 volts, and features such as low resistance, low capacitance, and a high surge capability.

Application Field

The SL1411A250C is designed to be used in high-bandwidth surveillance and telecommunications applications. For example, this device can be used in fiber-optic lines as an integral part of a communications system. This GDT is also used in medical electronics, industrial electronics, and aircraft system protection equipment. It can be used as a part of the power supply for sensitive equipment, such as computers and hand-held devices.

Working Principle

The SL1411A250C works on the principle of electrical breakdown. When a voltage spike or surge occurs on the line, the gap of the GDT starts to conduct, allowing the spike or surge to pass through without damaging the equipment connected to the line. This is accomplished by the gas within the GDT conducting, and dissipating the energy of the surge, thus preventing damage to the connected equipment and the GDT itself.

The SL1411A250C also offers additional features such as high resistance to environmental factors such as humidity and temperature changes. This GDT is also designed to prevent spurious ground trips, and in extreme cases it can even reset itself to its original state following a surge.

Conclusion

The SL1411A250C is a versatile and reliable GDT designed for high-bandwidth surveillance and telecommunication applications. It offers features such as low resistance, low capacitance, and a high surge capability, and is designed to be highly resistant to environmental factors. This GDT is an integral part of many communication systems, and can also be used to protect sensitive equipment from potentially damaging voltage surges.
