The Bourns 2026 series is a family of 3-pole gas discharge tubes (GDTs) providing robust surge protection for sensitive electronic circuits. These GDTs are characterized by their balanced TRIGARD design, ensuring stable breakdown voltage throughout their lifespan. They are commonly used in telecommunications, industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics, as well as aircraft and military applications. The 2026-23-C2LF model offers a DC sparkover voltage of 230V and is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental standards. An optional fail-short device is available for enhanced safety, activating at a temperature of 215°C – 217°C to provide a high conductive path to ground in case of thermal overload.
