GDT Operation
GDT devices are designed to prevent damage from
transient disturbances by acting as a “crowbar”, virtually a
short circuit. When an electrical surge exceeds the GDT’s
defined sparkover voltage, the GDT becomes ionized and
conduction takes place within a fraction of a microsecond
diverting surge current to ground. When the surge
event subsides and the system voltage returns to normal
levels, the GDT will reset to its high-impedance (off)
state. The crowbar effect of the GDT effectively limits the
overvoltage to a low level and shunts the associated surge
current away from downstream components and circuitry.
GDT Types
Bourns offers a broad range of 2-electrode and 3-electrode
GDT devices. 2-electrode GDTs are single chamber
devices designed to provide protection to single lines
referenced to another line or ground. 3-electrode GDTs
provide dual line protection from either line to ground
or line to line (L1-G; L2-G or L-L). Bourns® GDTs are
available in a variety of DC breakdown voltages, current
ratings, sizes and mechanical configurations.
Introduction
Customers in many different industries rely on Bourns®
Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) to protect an ever increasing
array of electronic equipment. Bourns engineers have
innovated and improved GDT technology by designing
devices with faster response times, low capacitance, and
smaller sizes while at the same time increasing impulse
life performance.
Bourns offers GDTs in six unique families: Long Life,
Premium, High-Voltage, High Current, Hybrid and Fast
Acting. This broad offering of GDT devices addresses the
diverse protection needs of next generation electronics.

Switch-Grade Fail-Short Devices
Reduce the risk of thermal runaway with our Switch-Grade
Fail-Short device available on selected Bourns® GDTs.
• The fail-short contacts are spring-loaded switch-grade
electrical conductors with no insulating burn through
media or solder pellets under compression.
• The fail-short mechanism is activated by a breakaway
action, preventing solder residues from freezing the
fail-short mechanism and diurnal temperature failures.
• Superior thermal coupling between the Switch-Grade
Fail-Short device and suppression components allows
rapid Fail-Short activation in both vented and non-
vented GDTs, with one of the industry’s lowest
contact resistance.
• Available on Model 2026, 2036 and 2026 MSP® GDTs.
