Product Overview
The Mini-TRIGARD 2038 series miniature symmetrical surface mount (SM) 3-electrode Gas Discharge Tube surge protection device. The industry-leading quality and features of the Bourns® miniature-TRIGARD™ series GDT continue in the 2038 symmetrical version. The 2038 series breakdown voltages are nearly equal line to line as well as line to ground. Bourns® Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) are designed to prevent damage from transient disturbances by acting as a crowbar in creating a virtual short-to-ground circuit during conduction. When an electrical surge exceeds the defined breakdown voltage level of the GDT, the gas 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.
