The Bourns 2046 series is a family of heavy-duty 3-electrode gas discharge tubes designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from overvoltage transients. These tubes offer a robust solution for applications in telecommunications equipment, industrial electronics, and consumer devices. Key features include a compact 8mm diameter and 10mm length, high current rating, low capacitance, and an optional fail-short configuration. The 2046-60-C2LF model specifically provides a 600V DC sparkover voltage and is RoHS compliant, meeting stringent environmental standards. Users should verify actual device performance in their specific applications.
