BOURNS 2036-30-SM-RPLF

Bourns now offers a surface mount (SM) 3 - electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) surge protection device. The high quality and outstanding features of the miniature 2036 TRIGARD™ series GDT continue in this new SM version for ‘pick and place’ manufacturing techniques. The 2036 SM device is ideal for board level protection of high bandwidth applications such as xDSL, cable broadband and high speed Ethernet. It has high energy handling capability, long and stable life performance, low capacitance of less than 2 pF, and measures only 5 mm in diameter. GDTs are designed to prevent damage from transient disturbances by acting as a “crowbar” in creating a short - to - ground circuit during conduction. When a voltage transient surge exceeds the defined breakdown voltage level of the GDT, the device becomes ionized and conduction takes place within a fraction of a microsecond. When the surge passes and system voltage returns to normal levels, the GDT returns to its high - impedance (off) state.
