An optional Switch-Grade Fail-Short device is available. The optional Fail-Short assembly will activate at a temperature of 215 °C –
217 °C to provide a high conductive path to ground in case of a thermal overload. GDTs equipped with the optional Fail-Short device
should be soldered either manually at a temperature that is below the activation temperature of the Fail-Short mechanism, or using a
selective soldering process that does not exceed 21ꢀ °C.
