GDT (Gas Discharge Tube)

StarStarStarStar

Uses an inert gas which ionizes and conducts electricity when high voltage is present; employed in telecommunications and coaxial cables.

StarStarStarStar

TVS Diode (Transient Voltage Suppression Diode)

StarStarStarStar

Responds to overvoltages faster than MOVs by allowing current to pass when voltage exceeds a defined level; utilized in low-voltage applications like USB devices.

StarStarStarStar

RC Snubber

StarStarStarStar

Placed across contacts in relays or switches to suppress electrical arcs; often found in power electronics to manage switching transients.

StarStarStarStar

MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor)

StarStarStarStar

Clamps voltage to a safe level by changing resistance; used in power strips and residential electrical panels.

StarStarStarStar

Selenium Voltage Suppressor

StarStarStarStar

Dissipates excess voltage as heat and has a longer life than MOVs; used in industrial settings for heavy-duty equipment.
