Bourns Gas Discharge Tubes for TBU®s
Miniature, 2-pole
Bourns Miniature 2-pole Gas Discharge Tubes
are fast acting, small
GDTs designed to operate with
Bourns TBU
® (Transient Blocking Unit) devices. The
GDTs provide coordinated protection with
TBUs to provide extremely fast overcurrent and overvoltage protection against electrical transients. The TBU protector will transition to a current-blocking condition in less than one microsecond at the rated current. If needed, the Miniature GDT will transition into conduction at a voltage below its maximum impulse rating, protecting the TBU device from overvoltage and shunting the surge energy to ground. These products together provide unparalleled speed of protection compared to other standard OVP/OCP protection schemes. Learn more about Bourns TBUs
