The 2046-60-ALF is a heavy-duty 3-electrode gas discharge tube designed for surge protection in telecommunications, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. This device features a DC sparkover voltage of 600 V at 100 V/s, with impulse sparkover ratings of less than 1000 V at 100 V/µs and less than 1100 V at 1000 V/µs, providing reliable overvoltage protection. The tube measures 8 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length, with an insulation resistance greater than 10 GO, maximum capacitance of less than 2 pF at 1 MHz, and can handle maximum impulse discharge currents of 20,000 A (8/20 µs) for single operations or 10,000 A for up to 10 operations. Operating across a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C and featuring low insertion loss and fail-short options, the 2046-60-ALF is ideal for protecting sensitive equipment from transient overvoltages while maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency applications.
