Lightning Surge Arrestor: 0 to 6GHz N-male to N-female or N-male

Lightning Surge Arrestor

Lighting Protector 0 ~ 6GHz for Antennas: Highest quality at the lowest price, providing extreme value. This protector provides great protection from 0 to 6 GHz with N-Female to N-Male connectors.

It's the high quality body material is 100% nickel plated brass unlike common aluminum body material protection devices on the market. It protects normally ships with 90 VDC breakdown voltages which are more than sufficient for wireless LAN installations.

Ground wire needed (not included): 26 AWG ESD drain wire.

Grounding Wire Connector

Even though the arrestor body is metal and grounded through its coax shielding, the dedicated grounding lug ensures:

• A low-impedance discharge path to earth ground (critical for lightning dissipation).

• Compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code, Article 810/820) and industry standards (TIA-607, Motorola R56).

• Better durability and lower surge voltage at the equipment side.

Without a proper ground connection, a lightning arrestor provides little protection — it must have both:

1. A gas discharge path (internal component), and

2. A physical ground connection to earth potential.

N-male Connector Characteristics and Details

Durable, weatherproof connection

• The N-male-connector has an internal rubber O-ring, which provides a water-tight seal.
• The N (male) connector is knurled.
• N-type connectors' body is nickel-plated brass, which is the best metals-plating alloy for rust-proof / corrosion proof / weatherproofing for long-term outdoor exposure.
• Our N connectors provide a consistent performance from 900MHz to 12.5 GHz. Being rated up to 12.5GHz, makes them usable in not just WiFi applications, but also in the higher end of the microwave spectrum.
• N-Female diameter is 0.620-inch (1.57 cm). N-male inside diameter is 0.620-inch (1.57 cm)
• N-connector gender is counter-intuitive: Gender refers to the pin inside and not the threads.
• N-Type connector is the largest of the RF connector types, and are usually found on large antennas, especially for outdoor use.
• Our N-Type connectors feature threaded coupling mechanisms and are fully interchangeable with N-Type connectors made to the MIL-C-39012 specification. These connectors are used in all systems where excellent RF and mechanical performance is critical.
• Nickel-plated brass body for enhanced corrosion resistance: Nickel plating is the most weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant metal plating.

N materials composition

• Connector Body: Nickel-Plated Brass: The most corrosion-resistant of all plated brass alloys (better than gold-plated).
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE

Ground Stud:  M5 x 0.75: 

• The hex/flange head size (not the stud) size is 8mm in diameter.
• The threaded part of the stud:  8mm major diameter, with fine-pitch 0.75mm thread.

Ring Terminals (not included):  Use M5 ring terminals (hole ~8.4 mm).  If you only have inch-sized lugs, the closest match is 5/16″ (7.94 mm) — it fits an M8 post. ad diameter: the hex/flange head size—not the stud size. Practical choices Ring terminal: M8 (or 5/16″) stud size, barrel for 10–12 AWG wire (heat-shrink style for outdoors).

Nut/washer (not included): Must be M5×0.75 fine-pitch (an M5×1.25 nut will not fit). Quick size map #10 stud ≈ 4.8 mm (too small) 1/4″ stud ≈ 6.35 mm (too small) 5/16″ stud ≈ 7.94 mm (good match to M8).
