Varistor held the largest share of the varistor and GDT market in 2024. Based on product type, the varistor segment commands the largest share in the varistor and GDT market due to its broad ...

Gas discharge tubes (GDTs) are increasingly driven by the rising need for robust surge protection in telecom, power, and data infrastructure. The expansion of 5G networks, data centers, and smart grid ...

1. Bourns 2017 series of GDTs. When vertically mounted, the Model 2017 Series can support approximately twice the number of GDTs in the same board space compared with similar board space using surface ...

Bourns has introduced a series of gas discharge tubes for protecting equipment against high-voltage surges. The bidirectional GDT28H series has devices with breakdown voltages from 1 to 3.3kVdc, and ...

Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

Bourns, Inc. has improved its next-generation gas discharge tube (GDT) line with a 3-electrode surface mount product family. Claiming breakthrough overvoltage surge arrestor performance, the new Model ...

A set of five gas discharge tubes are arranged such that when they are touched with a Tesla coil, their characteristically colored emission spectra are seen. The Tesla coil can burn your skin on ...

With all the new, innovative types of components we see, it's interesting to note which “new” devices we routinely use are really updated versions of classics from the early days of electrical design.
