2038-15-SM-RPLF Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Bourns 2038-15-SM-RPLF is a miniature symmetrical 3-electrode surface mount gas discharge tube (GDT) from the 2038 series. It features a DC sparkover voltage of 150V with ±25% tolerance and an impulse discharge current rating of 5kA (8/20µs). The device offers typical impulse sparkover voltages of 350V at 100V/µs and 500V at 1000V/µs. Capacitance is less than 1 pF, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications.

 

This GDT is designed for board-level protection of broadband circuits such as xDSL, cable broadband, and high-speed Ethernet. Its symmetrical breakdown voltage ensures balanced protection between line-to-line and line-to-ground. The 3-pole design provides robust surge suppression with high energy-handling capability and stable breakdown characteristics throughout its life.

 

The component is housed in a 3-SMD cylinder square end package and is surface mountable for economical assembly. It is leadless and offers low insertion loss. RoHS compliant versions are available according to the datasheet, though compliance for this specific part number is unverified.
