Trans-Guard Lightning Solutions:
Lighting strikes to aircraft statistically occurs once in every 10000 hours of flight. Failure of radio equipment as a result of lightning damage may be catastrophic and deadly. Integrating Trans-Guard surface mount transient protection devices into your radio designs is a reliable maintenance free solution to the problem of transient protection that provides continuous protection for the life of your product.

Ease of integration:
Trans-Guard surface mount devices possess a small SMT footprint that will easily integrate into any radio design. Trans-Guard’s unique patent-pending design yields extremely low insertion loss. This along with other RF design features of Trans-Guard makes Trans-Guard virtually non-intrusive with respect to the RF circuit it will be placed into, making RF design integration of Trans-Guard easy and painless.

Performance:
Whether your transient design requirements are for receiver, transmitter or transceiver applications, Trans-Guard unique patent-pending design offers extraordinary RF and transient protection performance in a small package. All Trans-Guard products are designed to IEC-61000-4 and DO/RTCA 160D test conditions for lightning and ESD protection. Features of all Trans-Guard products include:

• Low insertion loss
• Broad-band operation
• Virtually no RF parasitic to design around
• High RF power handling capability
• High transient and ESD capability
• Low cost

Reliable Maintenance Free Operation:
Trans-Guard patent-pending design has no gas tubes to burn out, no MOVs to degrade and no TVS diodes to short out. Making Trans-Guard an extremely reliable, maintenance free solution to the problem of protecting sensitive radio equipment from the ravages lightning discharge. Trans-Guard will provide continuous protection for the life of your equipment.
