GDT **Datasheet** **SH Series** Gas Discharge Tubes **==> picture [71 x 14] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> RoHS<br>[1 ® W<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **Description** The Littelfuse SH Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) series provides high levels of protection against fast rising transients caused by lightning disturbances. It has a surge rating of 5kA, 8/20μs. Offered in a Squared Surface Mount package, which helps to make pick and place on PCB process easier. This GDT series is perfectly suited for broadband equipment applications. The GDT’s low off-state capacitance is compatible with high bandwidth applications and this capacitance loading value does not vary if the voltage across the GDT changes. The Littelfuse SH Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) series are specifically designed for protection of electrical, multimedia, and communication equipment against over voltage transients in surface mount assembly applications. ## **Additional Information** **==> picture [198 x 7] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Resources Accessories Samples<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **Agency Approvals** |**Agency**|**Agency File Number**| |---|---| |Ww|E128662| **Two Electrode GDT Graphical Symbol** ## **Features** - Excellent response to fast rising transients - GHz working frequency - 5kA, 8/20μs surge capability as defined by IEC 61000-4-5 2nd Edition - UL Recognized ## **Applications** - CATV equipment - Antennas - RS 485 - Telecom Base Station - Power Supply AC Main - G.fast - EV power Charging - Inverter/Variable Frequency Drivers (VFDs) - Offered with squared body package - Non-Radioactive - Ultra Low capacitance (<0.7pF) - Lead-free and RoHS compliant - IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet interfaces - Broad Band equipment - xDSL, ADSL, ADSL2, VDSL, and VDSL2 - Medical Electronics - Test Equipment - General Telecom Equipment - Renewable Energy © 2021 Littelfuse, Inc.

Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Littelfuse is a premier global manufacturer of circuit protection, power control, and sensing technologies. Widely recognized for pioneering the first small, fast-acting protective fuse, the company has grown into an industry leader whose highly reliable components are essential to modern industrial, transportation, and consumer electronics applications worldwide. At the core of the Littelfuse portfolio is an expansive and industry-leading range of circuit protection solutions. This encompasses a massive selection of traditional fuses, fuse holders, and resettable PTC thermistor fuses designed to safely interrupt overcurrent conditions. To defend against electrical overstress, Littelfuse also provides advanced transient voltage suppression (TVS) technologies, including thousands of specialized TVS diodes, TVS varistors, and gas discharge tubes (GDTs) that ensure robust defense against voltage spikes and environmental hazards. Beyond its foundational protection components, Littelfuse manufactures a diverse array of discrete semiconductors, sensors, and switching devices. Engineers rely on their high-performance thyristors, including TRIACs and SCRs, alongside power-efficient Schottky diodes and MOSFETs for demanding power control applications. Complemented by precision proximity sensors and highly reliable reed and solid-state relays, Littelfuse delivers the critical building blocks required for secure, efficient, and complete system design.
