Pasternack RF surge protectors (lightning arrestors and protectors) are passive microwave components that function to protect sensitive equipment against high electromagnetic pulses (EMP) or extreme power surges that are usually caused by lightning strikes. These usually attach to an antenna and cater for events in which the desired frequency is passed, while suppressing the lightning surges. The best possible grounding is provided using a ground lug terminal. 50Ohm surge protectors have an N connector and can be ordered with optional bulkheads. The RF surge protectors' operating frequencies range from DC to 3GHz, with a 2,000 watt maximum surge power handling.These RF surge protectors are available with either a male-female or female-female interface with a replaceable gas discharge cartridge.
