DESCRIPTION

The 420LE/B series is a two stage transient voltage protector providing primary and

secondary protection against lightning, inductive switching and electrostatic discharge

(ESD) transient threats. The first stage diverts the transient current through the ground

terminal return path and the second stage clamps the voltage to a safe level without

interruption of service.

The 420LE/B series is designed to protect data lines from differential (line to line) and

common mode (line to ground) transients. Terminals 1 and 2, 3 and 4 for the 420LE

and pins 2 and 3, 4, and 5 for the 420LB are designated as line pairs. Each line pair is

referenced to ground. A transient voltage suppressor is connected across each line

pair for differential mode protection. Each line pair is referenced to ground.

This product can also be used on telephone, signal/data lines, security, timing and

control interface circuits. For most applications, the product should be located as close

as possible to the equipment being protected. A low impedance grounding system is

important to maintain a low voltage clamp between the line-to-ground connection.
