1965 Series – 50 Ohm Coaxial Surge Protector
Specifi cations are subject to change without notice.
The device characteristics and parameters in this data sheet can and do vary in different applications and actual device performance may vary over time.
Users should verify actual device performance in their specifi c applications.
The Bourns 1965 Series Coaxial Surge Protector is intended for use with low power VHF and UHF transmitters, 2-way base station
transceivers, and receive-only systems. All models provide GDT technology. The 1965 arrester is symmetric and bidirectional. Either
end may be used for the input or output. Various power and voltage choices are available - see specifi cations below for proper
selection. Available with a choice of connectors.
Note: The arrester ground plate is common with the connector body; hence the coax cable shields will be grounded at their
connection to the arrester.
