DIN M to DIN F Surge Arrestor

Specifications

1. Connector Types:
   • DIN Male (DIN M): The connector that plugs into the DIN female connector.
   • DIN Female (DIN F): The connector that receives the DIN male connector.
2. Frequency Range:
   • Typical Range: Designed to work with a range of frequencies depending on the specific application. Commonly supports frequencies up to several GHz, though the exact range should be verified with the manufacturer.
3. Surge Protection:
   • Protection Type: Includes components such as gas discharge tubes, metal oxide varistors (MOVs), or transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes to absorb and dissipate surge energy.
   • Protection Rating: The ability to handle specific surge voltages and energy levels, often measured in volts (V) and joules (J). Check the datasheet for exact ratings.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Low Insertion Loss: Designed to minimize signal loss while providing surge protection. Typically, insertion loss values are kept very low to ensure minimal impact on signal quality.
5. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Low VSWR: Ensures minimal reflection and signal distortion, maintaining signal integrity. Typical VSWR values should be as low as possible, often less than 1.3:1.
6. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms or 75 Ohms: Ensure compatibility with the impedance of the connected equipment. The most common impedances for DIN connectors are 50 ohms or 75 ohms.
7. Construction:
   • Housing: Made from durable materials like metal or high-impact plastic, designed to withstand environmental conditions and mechanical stress.
   • Mounting: Typically designed to be mounted inline between connectors or on a panel.

Applications

• Telecommunications: Protects equipment in telecommunication systems from electrical surges.
• Broadcasting: Used in broadcasting facilities to safeguard sensitive RF equipment.
• Data Communication: Ensures the protection of data communication systems from surges.
• Industrial and Commercial: Protects equipment in various industrial and commercial settings where DIN connectors are used.

Performance Characteristics

• Durability: Designed to withstand high energy surges and provide reliable protection over time.
• Signal Integrity: Minimizes impact on signal quality and maintains the performance of connected equipment.
• Reliability: Provides consistent protection against electrical disturbances.

Considerations

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the surge arrestor is compatible with the specific DIN connectors used in your application.
• Surge Protection Rating: Verify that the surge arrestor meets the required protection levels for your equipment and installation environment.
• Frequency and Impedance: Confirm that the surge arrestor supports the required frequency range and impedance for your application.
