Bourns 203823SMRPLF Miniature Surface Mount Gas Discharge Tube

Bourns offers the 2038 series, a symmetrical surface mount (SM) 3-electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) surge protection device. This device is ideal for board level protection of high bandwidth applications such as xDSL, cable broadband, and high-speed Ethernet. The 2038 series provides symmetrical turn-on characteristics, high energy-handling capability, long and stable life performance, and low capacitance. When an electrical surge exceeds the defined breakdown voltage level, the GDT acts as a “crowbar,” creating a virtual short-to-ground circuit to protect sensitive components.
