The Bourns 2026 series gas discharge tubes (GDTs) provide robust surge protection for sensitive electronic circuits. These 3-pole devices are ideal for telecommunications, industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications, as well as aircraft and military electronics. Key features include a balanced TRIGARD design, high surge current rating, stable breakdown voltage, and RoHS compliance. An optional fail-short assembly is available for enhanced safety, activating at 215°C to provide a conductive path to ground in case of thermal overload. The 2026-40-C3LF model offers a DC sparkover voltage of 400V and is suitable for a wide range of surge protection scenarios.
