DESCRIPTION
The SMP100LC-xxx series is a very low capacitance transient surge arrestor designed for the protection of high debit rate communication equipment. Its low capacitance avoid any distorsion of the signal.

FEATURES
■ Bidirectional crowbar protection
■ Low capacitance : C = 30 PF TYP @ 50V
■ Low leakage current : IR = 2 µA MAX
■ Repetitive peak pulse current : IPP = 100 A (10/1000µS)
■ Holding current: IH = 150 mA

BENEFITS
■ No ageing and no noise
■ Short circuit in failure mode, thus still ensuring protection
■ Board space saving

MAIN APPLICATIONS
Any sensitive equipment requiring protection against lightning strikes and power crossing:
■ Analog and digital line cards (xDSL, T1/ E1, ISDN...)
■ Gas tube replacement
■ Terminals and transmission equipment
