Special Features:

Housing material shall be aluminum or brass, rf connectors shall be n female and n female bulkhead type per mil-prf-39012, finish shall be corrosion resistant, shall have mounting hole 0.620 to 0.640 inch long by 0.526 to 0.546 inch wide.This item is a hardness critical item and any changes to or proposed subtitutions of hci items must be evaluated for hardness impacts.

Properties:

An item specifically designed to absorb and consume surges of voltage such as that resulting across contacts when breaking a circuit having an inductive load or a burst of static across a telephone receiver. It is connected in parallel with the item it is protecting. It may be made up of metallic rectifier cells or semiconductor devices connected back-to-back which may or may not be shunted by a capacitor. It may also be a single rectifier cell or semiconductor device shunted by a capacitor. Excludes metallic rectifiers which are rated for rectifying capabilities and all single unit semiconductor devices not shunted by a capacitor. For items perfoming this function by use of voltage sensitive resistors, see resistor, voltage sensitive. See also cutout disk, protective.
