Overview
The Tripp Lite SK6-0B is a direct plug-in surge protector designed to provide surge suppression for electronics connected to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. It provides six NEMA 5-15R receptacles in a compact black housing and uses diagnostic LEDs to indicate protection and grounding status.
Surge Protection
The SK6-0B provides a 750-joule AC suppression rating with protection across normal-mode and common-mode lines. Its surge protection response time is specified at less than 1 nanosecond, with a maximum surge current rating of 36,000 amps. A 15A circuit breaker provides overload protection.
Outlets and Installation
The unit connects directly to a wall receptacle through its NEMA 5-15P input plug, eliminating the need for a separate power cord. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets provide connections for compatible computers, printers, audio/video equipment and other 120V electronics. The direct-plug design is intended for indoor use in dry locations.
Diagnostic and Shutdown Features
Diagnostic LEDs provide operating-status information, with the manufacturer specifying green for protected status and red for grounded status. Automatic shutdown permanently disconnects the outlets if the protection circuitry becomes incapacitated, indicating that the surge protection unit requires replacement.
Key Features
- Six NEMA 5-15R AC outlets in a direct plug-in configuration
- 750-joule surge energy absorption rating
- Diagnostic LEDs for protection and grounding status
- Automatic shutdown when surge protection is no longer functional
- 15A circuit breaker for overload protection
Applications
The SK6-0B can be used to protect compatible home and office electronics such as computers, printers, wireless networking equipment, desk lamps and audio/video devices from AC power surges and spikes.
DC Supplies Product Note
The SK6-0B is a direct plug-in surge protector rather than a corded power strip. Its six outlets are supplied from the wall-mounted NEMA 5-15P connection, so installation should allow sufficient access to the wall receptacle and surrounding outlet area.
