SL1024A600RF Gas Discharge Tube - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SL1024A600RF is a 3-pole gas discharge tube (GDT) rated for 600V DC spark-over voltage with 10kA impulse discharge current capacity. Designed for through-hole mounting in axial cylinder configuration, this component is used for transient overvoltage protection in industrial and telecommunications applications.

The SL1024A600RF is classified as obsolete. Locating active equivalent models is necessary to ensure long-term component availability, supply chain continuity, and access to current manufacturing support and certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SL1024A600RF is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - DC Spark Over (Nominal): 600 V
• Impulse Discharge Current (8/20µs): 10000A (10kA)
• Number of Poles: 3
• Fail Short characteristic: Yes
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial Cylinder, 3 Lead (Radial Bend)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The SL1021A600RF meets all substitution criteria. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and environmental compliance specifications. The primary distinction is product status: SL1024A600RF is obsolete, while SL1021A600RF is active.
