DIN M to DIN F T-Type Surge Arrestor

Specifications

1. Connector Types:
   • DIN Male (M): External threads and center pin.
   • DIN Female (F): Internal threads and center contact.
2. Configuration:
   • T-Shape:
     • One DIN Female connector on the vertical leg of the T.
     • Two DIN Male connectors on the horizontal legs.
3. Frequency Range:
   • Typically Up to 6 GHz: Depending on the specific model, some might support higher frequencies, but 6 GHz is common for many surge arrestors.
4. Impedance:
   • 50 ohms: Standard for RF and microwave applications, ensuring compatibility with most RF equipment and minimizing signal reflections.
5. Surge Protection:
   • Surge Rating: Designed to handle high-energy surges. Common surge ratings are around 10 kA (kiloamperes) or higher.
   • Clamping Voltage: The voltage at which the surge arrestor begins to conduct and divert the surge. This can vary, but typical values might be 600V, 1000V, or higher.
6. Insertion Loss:
   • Low Insertion Loss: Typically around 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB, minimizing signal attenuation.
7. Return Loss:
   • Typical Values: Usually around -20 dB or better, indicating good performance and minimal signal reflection.
8. Materials:
   • Body: Typically made from aluminum, stainless steel, or brass, often with a coating or plating for corrosion resistance.
   • Insulator: Often PTFE (Teflon) or similar low-loss dielectric material to maintain impedance.
9. Construction:
   • Bulkhead Mounting: Designed for mounting through a panel or enclosure.
   • Durability: Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide reliable protection.

Applications

• RF Equipment Protection: Protects antennas, cables, and other RF equipment from damage due to electrical surges.
• Communication Systems: Used in systems where surge protection is essential for maintaining equipment reliability.
• Broadcasting: Protects broadcasting equipment from electrical surges.
• Aerospace and Defense: Ensures sensitive equipment in these fields is protected from surges.

Performance Characteristics

• High Surge Protection: Provides robust protection against high-energy surges.
• Low Loss: Ensures minimal impact on signal quality.
• Secure Connection: Offers a stable connection with minimal signal loss.

Considerations

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the DIN connectors match those in your system.
• Surge Rating: Check that the surge rating and clamping voltage are suitable for your application’s needs.
• Frequency Range: Verify that the frequency rating of the surge arrestor meets your application requirements.
