THINKING launches new 2-electrode gas discharge tube (GDT) product family for SMT process, which expands SMD type GDT portfolio of THINKING. Based on the spirit of quality, innovation, and robustness, the new GDTs with new structure and upgraded protective capability meet the new market demand. 

• Product Information
•  
• GF52Y-M Series (5x5x4.2mm)

GD52Y-M series is consisted of one square electrode and one round electrode on the tubular ceramic tube, and which is designed for SMT automatic soldering process. Discharge current (8/20μs) of these device is 2.5KA.

• GF52Y-C Series (5x5x4.2mm)

• For GF52Y-C series, both two electrodes and ceramic tube are square. Thanks to the flat surface on square tube, it is much easy and stable in the pick-and-place process when SMT implements. Maximum discharge current (8/20μs) of the device ranges from 2.5 KA to 5KA, and which indicates that it is more compact and saves more installation space when comparing with competitive products.

• Features
• 1. DC spark-over voltage: 90~1000V
• 2. SMD design 
• 3. Low capacitance and insertion loss
• 4. Agency approval: UL497B
• 5. RoHS & HF compliant
• 6. Operating temperature: -40℃~ +125℃
•     Storage temperature: -40℃~ +125℃
•  

• These new GDTs provide not only better over-voltage protection (for instance, lightning and AC induction) but also excellent discharge current withstand capability and wide operating temperature range. With low capacitance and stable structures, the products are ideal solutions for signal ports of telecommunications and industrial equipment, video monitoring equipment, and low voltage DC power supply, the typical applications are as follows.

• Applications
• 1. RS485/232, POE port
• 2. Set-top box, coaxial cable
• 3. Video monitoring equipment: camera, web camera, NVR security system
• 4. Low voltage DC power supply
• 5. Industrial power supply, common mode unit
