GS-P15-A
BIDIRECTIONAL DATA LINE PROTECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The GS-P15-A is a Bidirectional Data Line Protec-
tion System against EOS (Electrical Over Stress)
and ESD (Electrical Static Discharge).
This subminiature male/female connector, de-
signed both for EIA RS232C and V24 with 15 lines,
shunts to ground hazardous overvoltages induced
on an EIA cable.
