Notes:

• 2038-35 UL Recognized

, file E153537, 2038-110 CSA Approved

, file LR93265 (UL 1449).

• The rated discharge current for Mini-TRIGARD™ GDTs is the total current equally divided between each line to ground.

• Surface Mount (SM) parts may show a temporary increase in DCBD after the solder reflow process. Most devices will recover within 24 hours

time. It should be noted that there is no quality defect nor change in protection levels during the temporary change in DCBD.

• Sparkover limits after life ±30 %. IR >108 Ω.

• Operating characteristics per RUS PE-80 and Telcordia GR 1361 available on request.

• At delivery AQL 0.65 Level II, DIN ISO 2859.

• Bourns recommends reflowing surface mount devices per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 rev D.

(1)

Line to Line DC Sparkover tolerance typically less than +30 % at 100 V/s.

(3)

Network applied.

(4)

DC Sparkover may exceed ±30 % but will continue to protect without venting.

Bourns offers a symmetrical surface mount (SM) 3-electrode GDT surge protection device. The industry-leading quality and features of the

high bandwidth applications such as xDSL, cable broadband and high speed Ethernet, due to its symmetrical turn on characteristics as well as

high energy-handling capability, long and stable life performance and low capacitance of less than 1 pF. The 2038 series breakdown

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.
