Cutting-Edge GDT Series: Ultimate Overvoltage Protection

Bourns, a renowned global leader in electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, has introduced an exciting addition to its cutting-edge Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) product line. The new member, Bourns® GDT28H series, focuses on providing high-voltage bipolar overvoltage protection. These products cater to modern industrial power equipment's protection needs while addressing the rising demand for electrification solutions due to growing energy requirements, making them a perfect fit for both consumer and commercial applications.

The GDT28H series stands out for its compatibility with AC electrical isolation solutions, a critical aspect as devices must meet safety standards like IEC 62368-1. Achieving this is possible through a combination of expanded voltage range, strong insulation resistance, and improved surge capability. This feature not only saves space in designs but also offers robust protection akin to larger components. Moreover, the GDT28H series boasts an extended operating temperature range, enhancing its suitability for challenging environments.

David Chavarría, Bourns' Product Line Manager for Gas Discharge Tube/Surge Protection, highlights, "Our GDT28H series leverages the latest advancements in GDT technology, enabling customers to meet safety requirements in AC applications and household appliances. Its extended lifespan adds further value." This next-gen GDT series, tailored for general surge and isolation applications, brings exceptional value, positioning it as the preferred solution for users.

The Bourns® GDT28H series, featuring high-voltage gas discharge tubes with dual electrodes, is now available. The entire series complies with RoHS* standards and carries UL safety certification.
