The Bourns 2026 series gas discharge tubes (GDTs) provide robust surge protection for sensitive electronic circuits. These 3-pole devices are designed with a balanced TRIGARD construction, ensuring reliable performance in telecommunications, industrial, commercial, consumer, automotive, aircraft, and military electronics. Available in multiple models, they offer varying DC sparkover and impulse sparkover voltage ratings to suit diverse application requirements. An optional fail-short configuration is available for enhanced safety and reliability, activating at a temperature of 215°C – 217°C to provide a high conductive path to ground in case of thermal overload. The 2026 series is UL recognized and RoHS compliant, making it a versatile and environmentally responsible choice for surge protection.
