Special Features:

Ritem is single port, class b , type 1, parallel connected transient voltage surge suppressor utilizing hybrid circuitry with 80 ka per mode and 240 ka per phase peak surge current.Also mounting hole size is 0.310 inch.

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.
