The MTL SD07X is a high-performance, low-resistance surge protection device (SPD) from Eaton's Crouse-Hinds MTL SD Series, specifically designed for low voltage signal circuits requiring minimal series impedance. With a nominal voltage rating of 7V DC / 5V AC and an ultra-low series resistance of just 2.2 Ω per line, the SD07X is the ideal solution for protecting sensitive thermocouple (THC) inputs, 4-20mA loops, emergency shutdown systems, and fire and gas detectors in industrial process control environments.
As part of the SDX series, this device delivers full hybrid surge protection without the additional fuse/disconnect feature, making it the perfect choice for applications where low loop resistance is critical for measurement accuracy.
