Description
Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Overview:
The Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) functions as a symmetrical voltage-dependent switch, designed to provide robust overvoltage protection in a wide range of applications. GDTs are renowned for their very high surge current handling capability, which allows them to safely divert large transient currents away from sensitive electronic components. Additionally, they offer extremely high insulation resistance when not activated, ensuring that the normal operation of the circuit is not compromised. The ultra-low capacitance of GDTs is another key feature, as it minimizes the impact on the signal integrity and performance of high-frequency circuits.
B2G1SS Series Specifications:
The B2G1SS Series of GDTs are specifically engineered for surface mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). These compact devices measure just 3.2 x 1.6 x 1.6 mm, making them ideal for space-constrained designs. Their small form factor, combined with low insertion loss, ensures that they do not significantly degrade the signal quality or introduce unwanted attenuation. This makes the B2G1SS Series perfectly suited for broadband equipment applications, where maintaining signal integrity and minimizing interference are critical.
These GDTs are particularly well-suited for use in telecommunication systems, data communication equipment, and other high-speed digital and analog circuits where reliable overvoltage protection and minimal signal distortion are essential. The combination of high surge current capacity, high insulation resistance, and ultra-low capacitance makes the B2G1SS Series an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronics from the damaging effects of electrical surges and transients.

Notice:
- Gas Discharge Tubes must not be operated directly in power supply networks.
- Gas Discharge Tubes may become hot in case of longer periods of current stress (danger of burning).
- Gas Discharge Tubes may be used only within their specified values. In case of overload, the head contacts may
fail or the component may be destroyed. - Damaged Gas Discharge Tubes must not be re-used.
