Deployment / Use Cases
This surge suppressor is designed for low-voltage DC applications where transient protection is essential for system reliability. Its specific voltage ranges and dataline protection focus make it suitable for specialized environments beyond standard AC power protection.
Typical deployments include telecom base stations, industrial control systems, security camera networks, and data acquisition systems operating at 6V, 12V, or 24V DC. The compact form factor allows installation in space-constrained locations like control panels, equipment racks, or enclosure sidewalls.
Telecommunication Installations
Protect phone systems, network equipment, and communication lines in office buildings, industrial facilities, or remote sites where power fluctuations can disrupt service.
Industrial Control Systems
Safeguard PLCs, sensors, and control modules in manufacturing environments where electrical noise and surges can cause false readings or equipment damage.
Physical Profile
Measuring just 3 inches wide by 1.6 inches deep and high, the DTK-4LVTEP occupies minimal space while delivering substantial protection. The compact dimensions make it suitable for integration into existing panels or enclosures without requiring significant redesign. At only 113.4 grams, it adds negligible weight to installations while providing robust surge suppression capabilities.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.60" (40.64 mm), 3" (76.20 mm), 1.60" (40.64 mm), 113.4 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the DTK-4LVTEP surge suppressor support?
The DTK-4LVTEP handles three specific voltage levels: 6V, 12V, and 24V for both input and output. This multi-voltage capability allows it to protect equipment operating at different DC voltage levels without requiring separate protection devices for each voltage specification.
What type of connectors does this surge suppressor use?
This unit features terminal block connectors rather than plug-style receptacles. Terminal blocks provide screw-down connections for secure wiring, making them ideal for permanent installations where vibration resistance and reliable contact are important considerations.
What types of equipment is this surge suppressor designed to protect?
The DTK-4LVTEP is specifically engineered for telecommunication and datacommunication equipment protection. This includes phone systems, network devices, data lines, and other communication infrastructure where signal integrity must be maintained despite electrical transients.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this surge suppressor meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products used in federal contracts. This certification ensures the product is manufactured in or substantially transformed in a TAA-designated country, making it suitable for government and institutional purchasing.
How much surge current can this suppressor handle?
The DTK-4LVTEP provides 9 kA (kiloampere) of surge protection capacity. This rating indicates the maximum surge current the device can safely divert away from connected equipment during a transient voltage event, protecting sensitive electronics from damage.
What is the warranty coverage for this surge suppressor?
DITEK provides a 10-year limited warranty for the DTK-4LVTEP surge suppressor. This extended warranty period reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability and protection capabilities, offering long-term assurance for installations where reliability is critical.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 6 V,12 V,24 V, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
