Description

High Energy Devices’ PMT(275) and UMT(275) Series surge protectors (350-500V and 550-2500V respectively) provide a high level of protection from high-speed, high-current transient surges. These devices are constructed using a proprietary semiconductor junction process which results in nanosecond response times combined with peak current ratings in excess of 20kA.

Features
  • Fast impulse breakdown at 5kV/µs
  • Tight DC breakdown voltage tolerance (±10%)
  • Low capacitance
  • Small size
  • Hermetically sealed design provides maximum integrity under extreme environmental conditions

Applications
  • Test equipment
  • Video displays
  • Medical electronics
  • Instrumentation circuits

Application Notes

AN-PG-10   PMT/UMT(275) Power Gap Description & Use
This application note provides complete detailed information on the PMT/UMT(275) Series of rugged two electrode spark gaps. Their small size (0.750 inches X 0.315 inches diameter) and fast response to high voltage transients make them ideal for avionic and military applications. An aircraft lightning protector application is highlighted in this document.
