2020-42T-C2LF Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Bourns 2020-42T-C2LF is a fast-acting, 3-electrode miniature gas discharge tube (GDT) from the 2020-T Series. It provides a minimum DC sparkover voltage of 360 V and a typical initial sparkover of 420 V at 100 V/s. The device is rated for an impulse discharge current of 10 kA (8/20 µs waveform) and has a maximum impulse sparkover voltage of 850 V at 5 kV/µs.

 

This GDT features a low capacitance of less than 2 pF at 1 MHz and high insulation resistance greater than 1 GΩ. It is designed for overvoltage protection in telecommunications, industrial electronics, and avionics applications. The part is RoHS compliant and comes in an axial cylinder package with 3 leads in a radial bend configuration for through hole mounting.
