TZ601M-SMD is a 600 V SMD gas discharge tube intended for high-energy transient protection, with 10 kA nominal 8/20 µs surge capability and low capacitance.

Best for

  • High-energy surge protection
  • Broadband and telecom interfaces
  • Base-station and antenna protection
  • Power-line transient protection

Avoid if

  • The circuit operating voltage can exceed 480 V
  • Very low clamping voltage is required without coordinated secondary protection

Check before use

  • Maximum continuous operating voltage
  • Surge-current waveform and repetition requirements
  • Grounding and PCB creepage layout
  • Coordination with MOV, TVS, or other protection stages
