ASCO 175 PC642 Series Surge Protective Device, Low Capacitance, 8VDC, 10KA (PC642C-008LC)

Description

The PC642 Series surge suppressor is a dual pair (four wire) module implementing three-stage hybrid technology. This module addresses over voltage transients with gas tubes and silicon avalanche components. In addition, sneak and fault currents are mitigated with resettable fuses (PTCs). The PTCs increase resistance several orders of magnitude when over currents exceed safe levels. A normal state resumes when over currents are removed. The ability to self restore in this manner significantly increases suppressor performance and survivability.
