TCP020E

Tripolar Overvoltage Protection For

Network Interfaces

PRELIMINARY

SAN T A ANA DIV I S I ON

DESCRIPTION

Transient suppressor TCP020E is dedicated to ISDN, T1, Ethernet, and data lines

protection. Important features - very low breakover voltage combined with low

capacitance. May be used as a triple or a single bi-directional suppressor – see

schematic diagram.

This product provides:

-

low capacitance, allowing high speed signal transmissions with low losses

-

low dynamic breakover voltage, protecting submicron microelectronic

circuitry

-

Compliance with BELLCORE 1089-GR requirements for intrabuilding

lightning and power fault surges.

This low stand-off voltage and low capacitance protector is well suited for use in

high-speed interfaces as ISDN.
