Description
The SMP100LC is a series of low capacitance transient surge arrestors designed for the protection of high data rate communication equipment. Its low capacitance avoids any distortion of the signal and is compatible with digital transmission line cards (xDSL, ISDN...). SMP100LC series tested and confirmed compatible with Cooper Bussmann Telecom Circuit Protector TCP 1.25A.
FEATUREs
■ Bidirectional crowbar protection
■ Voltage range from 8 V to 400 V
■ Low capacitance from 20 pF to 45 pF @ 50 V
■ Low leakage current : IR= 2 µA max
■ Holding current: IH= 150 mA min
■ Repetitive peak pulse current: IPP= 100 A (10/1000 µs)
Main applications
Any sensitive equipment requiring protection against lightning strikes and AC power faults. These devices are dedicated to central office protection as they comply with the most stressfull standards. Their Low Capacitances make them suitable for xDSL.
