For decades Bourns Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) products have been the world leader in performance and quality. The former Joslyn products were acquired by Bourns in 2001. Bourns, the leader in primary and secondary circuit protection devices, is committed to providing the world's best performance and quality Gas Discharge Tubes. Bourns will continue to expand GDT products and services to all industry segments including Aircraft, Military, Automotive, RF Communications, High Speed Networks, Telecommunications, Industrial and Signal/Data. Bourns, with its intense product focus and acclaimed world-class manufacturing techniques, will continue to deliver the industry's leading GDTs. Bourns offers two distinct product families — The Standard Series ‘Max. and High-Duty’ 8 mm GDTs and the Heavy-Duty ‘Mini Series’ 5 mm GDTs. Surface mount versions are available in two and three electrode models for “pick and place” assembly techniques. The robust nature of the Bourns' 8 mm two- and three-electrode GDTs provides 300% more impulse life as compared to competitors' devices, providing the maximum life for your product and safety to the end user. The 8 mm GDTs feature optional proprietary Switch-Grade failsafe providing continuous fault current protection of over 60 A_RMS continuous duty. Bourns GDTs also feature the industry's highest surge current carrying capability and many lead configurations well-suited to standard industry applications. The Bourns Mini 5 mm two- and three-electrode GDT offer space saving up to 60% over the larger 8 mm style. The Bourns ‘Mini’ boasts performance rivaling that of competitors' larger 8 mm GDT devices. The 5 mm Series also includes the Bourns proprietary switch-grade failsafe. The 5 mm GDT comes in many industry standard lead configurations making the use of the miniature GDT versatile and convenient. Bourns GDTs comprise the industry's widest standard offering of DC spark-over voltages, (DCBD) from 75 V to 600 V. Bourns GDTs will meet or exceed virtually all industry specifications and standards that govern the use of Gas Discharge Tubes — ITU, IEC, Telcordia (Bellcore), UL, and RUS. It is safe to say that Bourns offers the right GDT solution for your protection application.
