Bourns
|
Since 1947, Bourns® has been a leading supplier of electronic components and integrated solutions. In 1952, Bourns introduced the world's first patented trimming potentiometer, the Trimpot®, and established themselves as an innovative manufacturer of trimming potentiometers, precision potentiometers, modular contacts, switches, resistor networks, panel controls, encoders, PPTC resettable fuses, and thyristor surge protectors, as well as gas discharge tubes (GDT), data line protectors, and chip diodes.
Bourns invests heavily in the development of technologies and the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities to meet customers' changing needs. Through this continuous investment, Bourns drives the trend toward component miniaturization. The company's commitment to quality is demonstrated in its manufacturing operations, which meet QS 9000, ISO 9001 / 2000 and TS 16949 certifications.

Bourns TBU™ Circuit Protection Devices
The Bourns TBU™ series is the first new approach to circuit protection in a decade and the winner of EDN's 2008 Innovation in Power Semiconductors. These devices
provide an effective barrier in nanoseconds by blocking a transient
through a current disconnecting mechanism rather than diverting or
shunting the surge to ground. These Bourns TBU (transient blocking unit) devices are high speed surge protection components designed to protect against faults caused by short circuits, AC power cross, induction, and lightning surges. All Bourns TBU products are resettable for
full functionality after multiple fault events, offer a high bandwidth
of 3 GHz, and are designed for telecommunication, industrial, and data
communications systems.
Bourns SinglFuse™ Chip Fuse
The SinglFuse™ thin film Chip Fuse from Bourns, in either a slow blow or fast acting type, features rated currents from 0.5 to 7.0 amps, surface mounts for automated assembly, a miniature footprint, UL certification, and RoHS compliance. The Bourns´ SinglFuse Chip Fuse series offers a range of fusing times, resistances, rated voltages, and breaking capacities. The thin film fuse is ideal for portable consumer electronics, computer peripherals, battery chargers, and industrial controller applications.
Bourns TVS Diode Array
The Bourns TVS (transient voltage suppressor) Diode Array provides cost-effective, space-savings for PCB layouts. With a flat configuration, the chip diode provides ESD, EFT, and surge protection, working peak voltages from 2.8V to 170V, unidirectional and bidirectional, as well as standard, low, and ultra-low configurations. The Bourns TVS Diode Array is ideal for a wide selection of applications including cellular and GPS antennae, high-speed communication ports, fast communication ports, portable electronics, and industrial controls.
