2015-09-29 | Return

Riverside, California -September 29, 2015 - Bourns is pleased to announce the release of the Model 2017 SeriesGas Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Arrestor with FLAT® Technology. Bourns sets a new industry standard by offering a 2-electrode GDT in an innovative fl at-package design. Bourns’ FLAT® technology delivers a low profi le solution for high density and height-restricted PCB applications.

The Model 2017 Series is an ITU K.12 Class III GDT device rated at 10 kA on an 8/20 µs waveform.The series is offered with DC breakdown voltages ranging from 90 to 420 V and is available inhorizontal and vertical surface mount versions as well as a leadless design for cartridge or clamp fi t applications.

The new series features an innovative horizontal design that accomplishes a 75 % savings in volume as compared to standard 8 mm Bourns® gas discharge tubes. When vertically mounted, the Model 2017 Series is capable of supporting approximately twice the number of GDTs in the same board space as compared to similar board space using surface mount 8 mm Bourns® GDTs.
