2038 Series Miniature Symmetrical 3-Electrode Surface Mount Gas Discharge Tube
Bourns offers a symmetrical surface mount (SM) 3-electrode GDT surge protection device. The industry-leading quality and features of the

series GDT continue in the 2038 symmetrical version. The 2038 series is ideal for board level protection of
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
voltages are nearly equal line to line as well as line to ground. Typical 3-electrode GDT line-line breakdown voltages are 1.8-2 times higher
than the line to ground breakdown voltage. Bourns

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) are designed to prevent damage from transient disturbances
by acting as a “crowbar” in creating a virtual short-to-ground circuit during conduction. When an electrical surge exceeds the defined break-
down 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.

• 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.
