The Bourns 2026 series is a family of 3-pole gas discharge tubes (GDTs) offering robust surge protection for a wide range of applications including telecommunications, industrial, commercial, consumer, automotive, aircraft, and military electronics. These GDTs are characterized by their balanced TRIGARD design, compact size (approximately 8mm diameter, 11mm long), and high surge current rating. Custom configurations are available, and the devices are RoHS compliant. An optional switch-grade fail-short device is available for enhanced safety, activating at 215-217°C to provide a high-conductive path to ground in case of thermal overload.
