M-System MD7DP Lightning Arrester Datasheet

MD7DP is a thin DC power supply surge protector with a discharge current of 20kA (8/20μs) and 1kA (10/350μs). It is only 7 mm thick and saves space, making it suitable for multi-point protection. The multi-pole protection circuit design provides excellent protection performance. It uses a metal DIN rail buckle and is grounded via the DIN rail. It has a display light and meets CE standards.

About this manual

The MD7DP is a thin‑profile (7 mm) lightning arrester designed for low‑capacity DC power supplies. It provides high surge protection (20 kA for 8/20 µs) and features a metal DIN‑rail clip that also serves as a grounding point. The device includes a green LED indicator that lights when power is applied and extinguishes when the safety fuse opens.

Installation is performed on a DIN rail (35 mm width, 1 mm thickness) with recommended iron or copper rails to ensure good conductivity. The arrester complies with IEC 61643‑21 (C1, C2, D1) and EMC directives EN 61000‑6‑4 and EN 61000‑6‑2, and operates within –25 °C to +85 °C and 30 %–90 % RH. This manual is written in Chinese.
