The PT-IQ-5-HF-12DC-PT surge protection device is designed to safeguard signal lines in high-frequency applications and telecommunications. It incorporates a protective plug and a base element equipped with a multi-stage optical status indicator, facilitating monitoring across five signal wires.

Operating with a nominal voltage of 12 V DC, this unit is rated for a maximum continuous operating voltage of 15 V DC. Its robust design allows for a rated current of 600 mA at 40 °C, ensuring reliable operation even under demanding conditions. The device is compliant with IEC test classification C1, making it suitable for environments characterized by overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2.

Installation is straightforward with a push-in connection method, accommodating a range of conductor cross-sections from 0.2 mm² to 4 mm² for rigid conductors, and up to 2.5 mm² for flexible conductors. Its compact dimensions of 17.7 mm in width, 109.3 mm in height, and 77.5 mm in depth facilitate integration into standard DIN rail mount applications.

Protection features include a nominal discharge current of 10 kA for both line-line and line-ground connections, and a total discharge current capability of 20 kA. The device is designed for quick response times, with a response time of less than 1 ns, ensuring immediate action to protect sensitive equipment from transients. Moreover, it operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C, and can be stored at...
