In this context, the stable and secure operation of electrical and electronic equipment is of paramount importance, and the need for reliable circuit protection has never been more critical.
20 Years of Focused Expertise in Circuit Protection
Just as human health depends on doctors and social safety depends on police, the safe operation of electronic devices depends on reliable circuit protection. Since its founding, Boarden has upheld the mission: **”We Make Electrical Circuits More Safe and Reliable.”**
With over two decades of experience, Boarden offers comprehensive one-stop solutions — from early-stage consultation and protection scheme design, to full product families, EMC lab testing, and ongoing technical support. The company acts as a “nanny-style” expert that ensures secure and stable operation of electronic systems.
Boarden has always maintained a customer-centric approach and is committed to excellence. Today, it operates branches in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, with a major production base in Rudong, Nantong. Its product lines span GDTs (Gas Discharge Tubes), TVS Diodes, TSS (Solid Discharge Tubes), PPTC Resettable Fuses, ESD Suppressors, MLVs (Multilayer Varistors), and SPDs (Surge Protective Devices). These are widely used in LED lighting, communications, security systems, new energy, and automotive electronics.
Boarden has established strategic partnerships with global industry leaders including Signify, Lite-On, Opple, Dahua, 3M, Samsung, and Delixi, building strong influence across multiple sectors.
Innovation-Driven R&D Powering Industry Leadership
To enhance its competitiveness and aim for global leadership in circuit protection, Boarden has built a technical team deeply familiar with industry trends and committed to innovation. It also collaborates with prestigious institutions such as Xi’an Jiaotong University and testing organizations like UK EMC and TÜV Rheinland to drive progress through industry-academia partnerships.
Over the years, Boarden has launched cutting-edge products aligned with the industry’s key development phases — including switch tubes for automotive xenon lamps, high-power GDTs for lightning and rail protection, Schottky diodes for photovoltaic systems, ESD suppressors for smartphones, and video port protectors for security applications. More recently, Boarden introduced high-energy SMD varistors tailored to the growing shift from switch-mode to linear power supplies in LED lighting.
Boarden is now actively developing a new generation of circuit protection components with higher surge tolerance and better performance to meet emerging requirements, already validated by top-tier domestic labs.
Manufacturing Excellence & Industry Recognition
Boarden’s manufacturing operations adhere strictly to global and national standards, with certifications including ISO9000, ISO14001, ISO45001, SA8000, and automotive-grade TS16949. Its product quality is widely recognized by both domestic and international clients.
The company is also active in industry associations and standards committees and serves as a board member in the China Electronics Society’s VDR Committee, contributing to industry development and standard-setting.
In the electronics industry, there’s a saying: “Where there’s electricity, there’s a need for circuit protection.”
With the industry moving toward miniaturization, lightweight construction, and automated assembly, high-energy SMD varistors are in high demand. However, these components have long been monopolized by foreign brands due to complex formulations and sintering processes that result in high costs.
Boarden has overcome these barriers by pioneering **low-temperature sintering technology**, drastically reducing production costs. In 2017, Boarden invested in a dedicated manufacturing site in Rudong, enabling **the first domestic mass production of high-energy SMD varistors** and facilitating their widespread adoption across sub-sectors of the electronics industry.
These innovations have addressed critical supply-chain bottlenecks and significantly advanced China’s circuit protection technology. In automotive electronics, security systems, and lighting, Boarden is now the preferred local alternative, helping bridge gaps left by foreign suppliers.
High-Energy CMS Varistor Series
Boarden’s CMS series SMD MOVs utilize advanced multilayer and semiconductor ceramic technology. These compact components offer high surge absorption, excellent low-voltage protection, thermal stability, and enhanced power dissipation. They are ideal for protecting ICs, transistors, and circuit boards against transient events, and are available in a wide range of models to meet diverse customer needs.
Beyond LED, automotive, and communication sectors, Boarden’s products are also applied in **smart homes, low-voltage devices, new energy systems, consumer electronics, rail transit, fire safety, SPD surge protection, power tools, small appliances, and white goods.
National Recognition & Future Vision
Boarden’s success in domestic substitution and technological breakthroughs has garnered national media attention, including exclusive interviews with founder Dr. Li Jixiao on CCTV’s “Dialogue” and “Made in China, Strong Nation.”
These interviews highlight Boarden’s contributions to China’s high-end manufacturing capabilities and reinforce its role as a technology-driven innovator. Looking ahead, Boarden will continue to focus on ceramic-based SMD products and strive to become a globally recognized circuit protection brand, offering original solutions and practical innovation for the future of China’s electronics industry.
