The document describes the features and characteristics of the Littelfuse SL1003A series gas discharge tubes, including compliance with the RoHS standard, low insertion loss, surface mountability, 5kA surge capability, GHz working frequency, excellent response speed, 10/700 6kV capability, and 2000 Amp 2/10μs surge rating.
The SL1003A series Gas Discharge Tubes are designed for broadband equipment, offering high protection against fast‑rising transients from 100 V/µs to 1 kV/µs. They feature ultra‑low capacitance and can divert large surge currents without damage.\n\nKey data include a 1.5 pF capacitance, 5 kA surge capability (8/20 µs), 2000 A 2/10 µs surge rating, and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +90 °C. The document also details recommended soldering profiles for reflow and wave processes, as well as packaging options for surface‑mount, radial‑lead, and core devices.
