* RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC Jan. 27, 2003 including annex and RoHS Recast 2011/65/EU June 8, 2011. ** Please note that GDT devices should not be operated directly in power networks. The low internal resistance of these networks allows excessive follow-on current through the ignited gas discharge tube that may result in failure of the GDT caused by a turn-off failure and excessive heating. Metal Oxide Varistors or other means of limiting follow-on current must be employed to safely operate any GDT device in a power network.
