The 5kA series SIDACtor® components are designed to
protect equipment located in high exposure environments
from severe overvoltage transients.
Set up in a robust TO-218 package, the 5kA series are
ideal for use in data interface and AC power line for CATV
amplifiers, Telecom Base Station equipment and Cell
Towers.
