Additional Details

The 2027-15-SM-RPLF has a DC breakdown voltage of 150V. It features a low capacitance, typically around 1.5 pF, which minimizes signal distortion in high-frequency applications. The surge current capability is high, allowing it to withstand significant transient surges. The surface mount design allows for easy integration into automated assembly lines. This GDT is commonly used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage caused by overvoltage events. It is suitable for use in telecom equipment, power supplies, data lines, and security systems. The RoHS compliance ensures that the product meets environmental standards for hazardous substances. The GDT operates by conducting when the voltage across it exceeds its breakdown voltage, thereby diverting the surge current away from the protected circuit. It then returns to its non-conducting state when the surge has subsided.
