Littelfuse is the world leader in circuit protection, is now available SE series gas discharge tube (the GDT), the device uses the EIA 1206 square micro-encapsulation, the discharge tube is the smallest devices on the market. SE series gas discharge tube provided with ultra low capacitance helps ensure high transmission speed broadband applications. They also react quickly to rapidly rising transient voltages to enhance protection of sensitive circuits. The outstanding stability of the SE Series in multi-pulse duty cycles helps circuit designers greatly improve the reliability of overvoltage surge protection applications. Under normal operating conditions, the gas discharge tube maintains a high resistance state, but in the event of a voltage surge (such as caused by a lightning surge), they will discharge from the on state to the short circuit to provide reliable overvoltage protection. . When the fault is removed, the gas discharge tube returns to a high resistance state, causing the circuit to resume normal operation. SE series gas discharge tubes are widely used in a variety of applications, including safety system components such as satellite and cable television equipment, closed circuit television equipment, analog video, set-top boxes, RS-485 and Ethernet applications.

"These gas discharge tubes are ideal for a variety of applications requiring a small form factor, fast transient voltage response and low insertion loss," said Stephen Li, global product manager for the SE series of gas discharge tubes. "The SE series has enabled us to miniaturize many of the innovations we have developed for the SG series of gas discharge tubes."
