Lightning Surge Protector, Coax In-Line, 300W Max, 50 Ohm, Up To 500 MHz

$24.95 $0.00

The OPEK LP-350A lighning surge protector mounts between your antenna and radio, connecting to standard coax connectors.

Installation is easy.  Each end has a standard SO-239 coax connector, so just put it in your coax run from your antenna, and connect the ground screw to a solid ground.  That's all there is to it. 

  • Handles frequencies up to 500 MHz
  • 50 ohms
  • Insertion loss less than .1 dB
  • Power maximum is 300 watts
  • Discharge voltage 350 VDC

This will help remedy the danger of lightning strikes in the area, and adds an extra layer of safety to your storm prep.  The best protection for your radio station against lightning strikes is still a full disconnect and isolation from antennas and power sources. If there is an event in your area while you are away, or before you can disconnect, this inexpensive solution could dissipate the charge, and give you time to disconnect.  Keep in mind, lightning surge protectors cannot protect against a direct lightning strike, but they can help attenuate the damage done by area or nearby strikes, which can also damage your gear. 

These surge protectors ship quickly and safely from Mississippi.
