It is a surface mount (SM) 3-electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) surge protection device. The 2036 TRIGARD series GDT has “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. The subminiature family of GDTs measure only 5 mm in diameter and are the smallest high performance GDTs in the telecom industry. The 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 defined 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.
