LT1260 Loadcell Surge Protector

The LT1260 load cell surge protector provides protection to the weighing system from severe over voltage and high power impulse currents.

The LT1260 contains unique triple stage surge protection circuitry to protect the signal, supply and shield lines. The first stage comprises of gas discharge tubes. Three terminal gas discharge tubes are used providing superior differential and common mode protection against conducted transients then surge protectors based on two terminal gas discharge tubes.

Stage two comprises of current limiting fusible series surge resistors which in a rare case of extreme lightning or surge event will resort to a fail safe operation. This effectively disconnects the line from sensitive electronic equipment. The third stage comprises of a low capacitance over voltage diode clamp array. The diode array clamps fast transients to a safe level until the gas discharge tubes turn on.
