Bourns Releases New
FLAT™ Gas Discharge Tube Surge Arrestor
Model 2015
Riverside, California - TO BE RELEASED DECEMBER 1, 2014
- Bourns is pleased to announce the
release of the Model 2015 Series Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Arrestor with FLAT™ Technology.
Bourns sets a new industry standard by offering a 2-electrode GDT in an innovative flat-package
design. Bourns® FLAT™ technology delivers a low profile solution for high density and height-restricted
PCB applications.
The Model 2015 Series is an ITU K.12 Class II device rated at 5 kA on an 8/20 µs waveform. The series
is offered with DC breakdown voltages ranging from 90 to 600 V and is available in horizontal and
vertical surface mount versions as well as a leadless design for cartridge or clamp fit applications.
The new series features an innovative horizontal SMD design that accomplishes a 66 % height savings
compared to a standard 5 mm Bourns® GDT. When compared to an 8 mm Bourns® GDT, the Model
2015 provides a 75 % savings in volume. When vertically mounted, the Model 2015 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 GDTs.
