MDK-LC

Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER

LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR
STRAIN GAUGE USE

Functions & Features
• Designed to protect strain gauge transmitters from lightning surge damage that enters on the wiring between the strain gauge and the transmitter
• Absorbing surges only without affecting instrumentation signal
• Shallow depth
• DIN rail mounting

MODEL: MDK–LC
