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**~~ **==> picture [221 x 81] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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 (75V-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**~~ - RoHS and Lead-free • Meets REA PE-80 compliant • Available in surface - • Rugged Ceramic-Metal mount, and a variety of construction lead options options - Low Capacitance • RoHS Compliant and (<1.5pf) Lead-Free - ~~**Applications**~~ - ~~[Po~~ • Communication lines • Instrumentation circuits and equipment • Medical electronics - CATV equipment - ADSL equipment - Test equipment - Telecom SLIC protection - Data lines - Power supplies © 2017 Littelfuse, Inc.
