5-Pin Protector Modules Description

The 5-pin protector modules protect personnel and equipment from excessive voltages and currents induced on telephone lines or local ground by lightning and AC power system faults. All modules feature industry standard 5-pin bases for use in central office, remote terminal, building entrance, and customer premises applications. All modules are available with or without a heat coil to protect against sneak currents. When a sneak current is induced on the line, the heat coil responds by permanently grounding the line to prevent damage to line cards and sensitive equipment.

Carbon Protector Modules feature a carbon air gap and fail-safe mechanism that shorts to ground when a voltage exceeds its rating. A detent position disconnects the equipment side while protecting the line side (OSP cable). These modules are used where transients are not frequent or cost is a major factor.

Gas-Tube Protector Modules contain two-electrode high amperage ceramic nonradioactive gas-tube surge arresters and a fail-safe mechanism. These are used in areas where frequent transient overvoltages are a problem or where tightly controlled breakdown values are required. The gas-tube will recover repeatedly from the overvoltage, providing 30 to 40 times longer life than carbon. The detent position disconnects the equipment side while protecting the line side (OSP cables). Modules are available with a secondary vent-safe backup gap. Modules equipped with patented vent-safe gap are UL Listed (VS in catalog). If a module is specified as a JZ-type, it is a next generation new gas-type version that provides extended life and environmentally robust protection.

Solid-state Modules contain state-of-the-art diodes intended for use with sensitive equipment. They are available with 4 ohm (350mA) or 20 ohm (150 mA) heat coils. The diode is a fast semiconductor switch with operating voltage nearly independent of transient rise time.

“RXXXX” Protector Modules have either a “B” or “C” as the third character in the catalog number to denote special characteristics. Those with a B as the third character, i.e., R3B1E, have a triangular-shaped recess molded into the base to accommodate the raised structure molded into the panel of AT&T building entrance protectors.

Those modules with a C as the third character, i.e., R3C1E, have a circular-shaped hole in the shoulder of the housing to provide access for test points.

Application

These protector modules provide overvoltage and overcurrent protection for central office, remote terminal, and building entrance/customer premises applications. All protector modules provide a vent-safe gap, are fail-safe, and meet UL requirements.

Specific models are designed to meet RUS and Bellcore specifications.
