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