Product Specification

2 Pole Surface Mount 1206 SMD Ceramic Gas Discharge Tube 3216 150V 500A

Description Of The SMD Ceramic Gas Discharge Tube 3216 150V 500A

The two-pole SMD3216 series ceramic gas discharge tube produced by Ampfort Electronics is suitable for Coaxial, xDSL port, Internet port protection and surge protection for miniaturized ports. This series of products has the characteristics of small size, low capacitance value and strong current flow capacity. Volume: 3.2×1.6×1.6mm, voltage range: 90～600V, 8/20μs waveform can withstand 0.5kA surge protection.

Ampfort provides high-performance and small size packaging (DIP/SMD) gas discharge tubes with fast response speed and surge suppression capability, which reduces the risk of equipment damage, this is also a good choice for protecting devices from damaging by surge current caused by lightning, especially suitable for outdoor telecommunications equipment.

Soldering Parameters - Reflow Soldering (Surface Mount Devices)

Surface mounted components (SMD) may exhibit a temporary increase in the DC spark-over voltage after the solder reflow process.The components will recover within 24 hours. There is no quality defect nor change in protection levels during the temporary change in DC spark-over voltage.

The SMD3216 series has been especially designed to meet data transmission protection requirements. The optimized design features a high level of protection against fast rising transients usually caused by lightning disturbances. For use in high frequency data lines, the series offers ultra low capacitances and shows only marginally signal losses up to high frequencies. The devices are extremely reliable and are able to withstand high surge currents without destruction.
