Lightning protectors and/or surge protectors are a must for protecting today's sophisticated electronic equipment with external connections. Electronic components are inherently vulnerable to damage from man made and natural high voltage and/or high-energy sources, such as electrostatic discharge, lightning, and nuclear electromagnetic pulses. As higher density and higher speed devices are introduced, silicon feature size decreases; therefore, the level of voltage and energy required to destroy components also decreases. ECM distributes quarter-wave stub (and stubless!) and gas tube protectors, manufactured by Nextek. By providing us with your specific parameters, we can guide you to the most cost efficient model.
