® Al 

## ~~**Description**~~ 

Littelfuse highly reliable CG/CG2 Series GDTs provide a high degree of surge protection in a small size ideal for board level circuit protection. 

GDTs function as switches which dissipate a minimum amount of energy and therefore handle currents that far surpass other types of transient voltage protection. Their gas-filled, rugged ceramic metal construction make them well suited to adverse environments.

The CG/CG2 series comes in a variety of forms including surface mount, core, straight and shaped leads, to serve a variety of mounting methods. 

The CG Series (75-110V) is ideal for protection of test and communication equipment and other devices in which low voltage limits and extremely low arc voltages are required. 

The CG2 Series (145V-1000V) is ideal for protecting equipment where higher voltage limits and holdover voltages are necessary. 

## ~~**Features**~~ 

- Rugged Ceramic-Metal construction 

   - Meets REA PE-80 

- Available in surface 

- • Low Capacitance mount, and a variety of (<1.5pf) lead options options 

## ~~**Applications**~~ 

- Communication lines • Instrumentation circuits and equipment • Medical electronics 

   - Medical electronics 

- CATV equipment 

   - ADSL equipment 

- Test equipment 

   - Telecom SLIC protection 

- Data lines 

- Power supplies
