The industry-leading quality and features of the Bourns[®] miniature 2036 TRIGARD™ series GDT continues in this new SM version for “pick and place” manufacturing techniques. The 2036 SM device is ideal for board level protection of high bandwidth applications such as xDSL, cable broadband and high speed Ethernet, due to its high energy handling capability, long and stable life performance and low capacitance of less than 2 pF. Bourns subminiature family of GDTs measure only 5 mm in diameter and are the smallest high performance GDTs in the telecom industry. Bourns[®] GDTs are designed to prevent damage from transient disturbances by acting as a “crowbar” in creating a short-to-ground circuit during conduction. When a voltage transient surge exceeds the defi ned breakdown voltage level of the GDT, the device becomes ionized and conduction takes place within a fraction of a microsecond. When the surge passes and system voltage returns to normal levels, the GDT returns to its high-impedance (off) state. ## ~~**Characteristics**~~ Test Methods per ITU-T K.12, IEEE C62.31 and IEC 61643-311 GDT standards. **==> picture [489 x 131] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Notes:** - **UL Recognized component, UL File E153537.** - No model number marking on tube; date code and voltage only: month year digits, xxxV (e.g. 0209 400V). - 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 refl ow 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. - Sparkover limits after life ±25 % (-25 %,+30 % for Model 2036-07, 2036-09 and 2036-60), IR >10[8] Ω. - Operating characteristics per RUS PE-80 and Telcordia GR 1361 available on request. - Line to Line voltage is approximately 1.8 to 2 times the stated Line to Ground breakdown voltage. - At delivery AQL 0.65 Level II, DIN ISO 2859. - Bourns recommends refl owing surface mount devices per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 rev D. - (2) Network applied. - (3) DC Sparkover may exceed ±25 % but will continue to protect without venting. *RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC Jan. 27, 2003 including annex and RoHS Recast 2011/65/EU June 8, 2011.
