Next-Generation Gas Discharge Tubes - GDT25 Series

Bourns' next-generation GDT25 series are performance innovating two-electrode gas discharge tubes (GDTs). The series continues Bourns’ legacy of quality, innovation, and design in GDT overvoltage surge arrestors with excellent speed and robustness.

This latest generation GDT significantly improves protection from voltage transients caused by lightning or accidental contact with AC power lines. With improvements driven by computer modeling simulations, the Model GDT25 next-generation series provides an enhanced level of voltage limiting during fast-rising events resulting in reduced stress on downstream components. In addition, the series has superior current handling capabilities and a wide operating temperature range. The low capacitance and low insertion loss make the series an ideal solution for protecting industrial communications and high-speed information and communication technology (ICT) equipment. The series is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized.

The GDT25 design kits contain five pieces of each GDT25 model to provide design engineers with protection solutions for quick-turn prototype testing.
