c3ss-gtb 5 prong,surge protection module c3ssgtb circa telecom 735020 solid state black module low voltage 610373755225 Description: The C3SS data series of 5 pin solid state protector modules are designed to provide superior transient and power fault protection for most data line applications, including RS-232. The C3SS is an ideal replacement for applications using 30 volt, 600 1500 Watt avalanche and zener diodes. The 30 volt SIDACTOR technology's 75 Amp l0xl000 psec surge rating is over twice that of a typical 1500 Watt, 30 volt avalanche diode or zener diode. With a capacitance rating l00pf of capacitance at 1Mhz, 20VDC bias, the C3SS is dramatically superior to the 550pf normally found with diode technologies. Normal breakdown voltage operation for the C3SS is 27-36 VDC with a nominal rating of 30 VDC. Application: The C3SS series is well suited to most data line protection applications including RS-232, where added protection is required. These products also provide superior protection for most digital (low loop voltage) telecom applications. Features Benefits Solid state technology provides nanosecond response time Better surge capability than zener or avalanche diodes Lower capacitance than diodes Longer lifespan than conventional gas tube and carbon arrestors UL listed Documented safe performance External failsafe mechanism which permanently grounds module under sustained high current conditions Reduced "let through" of dangerous transients Reliable protection, even under adverse fault conditions Better circuit performance Reduced service calls Safe mode operation in adverse situations SPECIFICATIONS C3SS C3SS DC Breakdown (nominal) Capacitance @100V/µsec 30Vdc (27-36V) 1Vrms@1KHZ, 50VDC 100pf Peak Pulse Current (max)1 Insulation Resistance @ 8x20 µsec 200A @50VDC 100M ohms @10x 160 µsec 150A @10 x 1000 µsec 75A Fail- safe Operation @1.0 A 50 sec Holding Current 50 (min) @5.0 A 15 sec @20 A 10 sec Surge life (min operations)2 @60 A 3 sec @10A, 10 x 1000 µsec unlimited @100A, 10 x 1000 µsec 300 @1Arms, 1 sec 60 @10 Arms, 1 sec 20 Special overcurrent or sneak current versions available upon request (PT C self resetting polymer fuses). 1total surge rating is 2x listed with respect to ground during a simultaneous surge 2service life requirement as per Bellcore TR-NWT-000974 3pin alloy refers to tip and ring pins.
