Bourns, 2017 230V 12kA, SMD 2 Electrode Gas Discharge Tube

Bourns GDT Surge Arrestor, 2017 Series

Bourns Model 2017 Series Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Arrestors with FLAT® Technology offers a 2-electrode GDT in an innovative flat-package design. Bourns FLAT technology delivers a low profile solution for high density and height-restricted PCB applications.
The Model 2017 Series is an ITU K.12 Class III device rated at 10 kA on an 8/20μs waveform. DC breakdown voltages range from 90 V to 420 V. Series is available in horizontal and vertical surface mount versions and a leadless design for cartridge or clamp fit applications.

Switching Spark Gaps (GDT)

Switching spark gaps are designed specifically for voltage controlled switching of capacitive discharge circuits where a high energy, low loss, fast rate of switching is required. These products are ideally suited for applications where a capacitive discharge is utilised with a transformer to obtain pulses of high-voltage levels in the order of several thousand volts. Utilised in gas heating and gas appliances along with protection of Xenon discharge lamps in both the architectural and automotive areas.
