The new Bourns® 2054 series targets broadband applications. These three-electrode, surface mount GDT (gas discharge tube) surge protectors feature low capacitance and low insertion and return loss, making them a suitable choice for such applications. These devices are available in voltages from 230 V to 470 V. They prevent surge damage by providing a short-to-ground circuit during conduction. When an electrical surge event exceeds the defined breakdown voltage level of the GDT, the device becomes ionized and rapid conduction takes place. When the surge passes, and the system voltage returns to normal levels, the GDT returns to its high impedance “off” state.Find more product details on the Bourns’ website.
