UBD/UBT/UGT Series
Uni-Imps®
Features
• Fast impulse breakdown (≤ 120% of typical DC
breakdown to 200kV/µs)
• Tight DC breakdown voltage tolerance (+10%)
• Non-radioactive
• Low capacitance
Applications
• Antenna feedlines
• Test equipment
• Video displays
• Medical electronics
• Instrumentation circuits
Description
High Energy Devices’ Uni-Imps high-speed transient
surge protectors (0.55-20kV) provide the ultimate
protection from high-energy, fast-rising transients such
as Nuclear EMP. These devices are constructed using
a proprietary semiconductor junction process that
results in nanosecond response times combined with
peak current ratings in the 5-10kA range. A unique
benefit of this technology is that the breakdown
voltage is virtually independent of the rise time of the
transient. In addition, the low capacitance of these
devices allows for direct placement on high-frequency
lines and antenna feeds without excessive loading.

Ordering Information
A complete part number is represented by the digits
below. Breakdown voltages are expressed in Volts for
devices <1000V and kV for devices ≥ 1kV. For
example, UBD550 is a 550V UBD series device,
UBT7.5 is a 7.5kV UBT series device and UGT10.0 is
a 10kV UGT series device.
