420LB28 - 420LE60
Only One Name Means ProTek’Tion™
TWO LINE PAIR 4ꢀ20mA CONTROL LOOP PROTECTOR
DEꢁCRIPTION
The 420LE/B series is a two stage transient voltage protector providing primary and secondary protecꢀon against
lightning, inducꢀve switching and electrostaꢀc discharge (ESD) transient threats. The first stage diverts the transient
current through the ground terminal return path and the second stage clamps the voltage to a safe level without inter-
rupꢀon of service.
The 420LE/B series is designed to protect data lines from differenꢀal (line to line) and common mode (line to ground)
transients. Terminals 1 and 2, 3 and 4 for the 420LE and pins 2 and 3, 4, and 5 for the 420LB are designated as line
pairs. Each line pair is referenced to ground. A transient voltage suppressor is connected across each line pair for dif-
ferenꢀal mode protecꢀon. Each line pair is referenced to ground.

This product can also be used on telephone, signal/data lines, security, ꢀming and control interface circuits. For most
applicaꢀons, the product should be located as close as possible to the equipment being protected. A low impedance
grounding system is important to maintain a low voltage clamp between the line-to-ground connecꢀon.
