Bourns 2019 series FLAT® GDT surge arrestor

Bourns is pleased to announce the release of the Model 2019 Series as Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Arrestor with FLAT® Technology. Bourns again sets a new industry standard by offering a high current rated 2-electrode GDT in an innovative flat-package design. Bourns’ FLAT® Technology delivers high performance in a compact package.

The Model 2019 Series is an ITU K.12 Class IV GDT device rated at 25 kA maximum on an 8/20 μs waveform. The series is offered with DC breakdown voltages ranging from 90 to 230 V.

The new series features an innovative low profile, horizontal surface mount design that achieves a significant savings in height when compared to a standard 8 mm GDT.
