CITEL BM surge arresters are 3-electrode gas discharge tubes designed in ceramic technology and created to protect telecommunication or computer equipment, The reduced size of the BM series enables the implementation in limited space applications (small connector blocks...), SMD mounting (BM CMS type) or PCB mounting (with lead termination : BMS). BM could be provide with external fail-safe mechanism (BMC type) and is available in several DC sparkover voltages.

DC spark voltage tolerance +/- 20%
Maximum impulse sparkover voltage (1kV/µs) ≤ 900 V
Nominal discharge current In 10 kA
Total Maximum discharge current Imax Total 25 kA
Impulse current by pole Iimp 2 kA
Impulse discharge current 2 kA
Max. capacitance C <0.5 pF
