The Bourns 2049 series provides robust overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic circuits. This medium-duty gas discharge tube (GDT) is designed to protect equipment from transient voltage surges, commonly encountered in telecommunications, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. Key features include a compact 8mm diameter and 6mm length, low capacitance for minimal signal interference, and high insulation resistance to prevent leakage currents. The 2049-40-BLF specifically offers a 400V DC sparkover voltage and is compliant with RoHS directives, ensuring environmentally responsible usage. Its impulse discharge capability handles significant surge events, contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of protected devices.
