The SMD4042-230E is a 230V, 3kA surface-mount gas discharge tube designed for overvoltage protection in communication and broadband equipment.

Best for

  • Broadband equipment
  • Telecom base stations
  • xDSL/VDSL lines

Avoid if

  • Applications requiring high-frequency signal integrity beyond GHz range without considering GDT capacitance

Check before use

  • Ensure the maximum operating voltage of the network does not exceed the GDT's minimum spark-over voltage.
