2R1600T-5 1600V Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Protector – 2R-5 Package | RUILON

The 2R1600T-5 Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-reliability ceramic surge protection device designed to protect electronic circuits from transient overvoltage events such as lightning strikes and switching surges. Featuring a 1600V DC spark-over voltage, this component is optimized for high-voltage applications requiring strong insulation performance, stable discharge behavior, and long service life.

Built with advanced gas discharge technology, the 2R1600T-5 delivers stable impulse spark-over voltage at 1KV/µs, along with high insulation resistance and low capacitance at 1 MHz, ensuring minimal signal distortion while maintaining excellent electrical isolation in high-voltage environments. Its strong capability to withstand high impulse discharge current (8/20µs waveform) ensures efficient surge energy absorption and reliable protection performance.

The compact 2R-5 package allows easy PCB integration and is suitable for space-constrained designs requiring robust surge suppression.

This GDT is widely used in telecommunications equipment, industrial electronics, power systems, signal line protection, and surge protection devices (SPD), delivering consistent and durable circuit protection.
