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. ## ~~**Agency Approvals**~~ AGENCY AGENCY FILE NUMBER A E128662 \ E320116 (CG2800 & CG21000 only) ## ~~**2 Electrode GDT Graphical Symbol**~~ 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 • Meets REA PE-80 construction - 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 © 2015 Littelfuse, Inc.
