Bourns releases new gas discharge tube model
Bourns has announced the release of the Model 2030 T-Series fast response Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) designed for use with the Bourns® TBU® High Speed Protectors (HSPs).
The 2030 T-Series is a three element GDT that provides superior protection against fast rising voltage transients. GDTs on the market today commonly specify their impulse limiting performance at a 1k v/μs rate of rise. The T-series specifi es its impulse limiting performance at a very fast 5 kV, 1.2 x 50 μs making it ideally suited for use with the TBU® HSP.
The 2030 T-Series and TBU® HSP provide a superior protection solution for a broad number of industrial applications as well as telecom applications requiring GR-1089 or ITU-T K.21 compliance.
These GDT devices provide coordinated overvoltage protection for the specifi ed TBU® HSP protector models shown in the above table. Together, the GDT and TBU® High-Speed Protectors provide extremely fast overcurrent protection (OCP) and overvoltage protection (OVP) against electrical transients. When exposed to a transient event, the TBU® HSP will transition into a currentblocking condition in less than one microsecond at the rated current. When needed, the GDT will transition into conduction at a voltage below its maximum impulse rating, protecting the TBU® HSP from overvoltage and shunting the excess surge energy to ground. Once the transient subsides, the GDT and TBU® HSP will reset to their normal off-state modes of operation.
The new models are available as RoHS compliant.
