Littelfuse CG10 Gas Discharge Tubes

Littelfuse CG10 Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) offer a high surge capability in a compact size, ideal for board-level circuit protection. These GDTs function as switches that dissipate a minimum amount of energy and, therefore, handle currents that far surpass other types of transient voltage protection. The gas-filled, rugged ceramic metal construction makes these GDTs well-suited for adverse environments. CG10 GDTs are available in different forms, including surface mount and straight leads, serving various mounting methods. Littelfuse CG10 GDTs are ideal for CATV equipment, instrumentation circuits, medical electronics, and communication lines.
