BSA201N

BORN · Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) · 1206

BSA201N from BORN, in a 1206. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A1 passive Gas discharge tube electrode 1. Symmetrical, non-polarized terminal; connects across the line to be protected. Insulation resistance >1 GΩ (at 100V DC) to A2 until spark-over at ~200V DC (±30%).
2 A2 passive Gas discharge tube electrode 2. Symmetrical, non-polarized terminal; typically tied to protective earth or the opposite side of the protected line. Handles 0.5kA nominal 8/20µs impulse discharge current.
