2R230LB-8TH 230V Gas Discharge Tube – 2RL-8TH Package | RUILON
RUILON
The 2R230LB-8TH Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-reliability ceramic surge protection device designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from high-energy transient overvoltage events such as lightning strikes, switching surges, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Built with advanced gas discharge technology, it ensures ultra-fast response and stable long-term protection in demanding electrical environments.
With a DC spark-over voltage of 230V, this component is optimized for medium-voltage surge protection applications, offering a balanced combination of sensitivity and stability. It helps minimize false triggering while ensuring reliable activation during surge events. The device supports high impulse discharge current (8/20µs) and delivers excellent impulse spark-over performance (1kV/µs) for effective surge suppression.
The device features low capacitance at 1 MHz, helping preserve signal integrity in high-speed communication systems, while high insulation resistance reduces leakage current and improves overall efficiency. Stable glow voltage and arc voltage characteristics ensure consistent operation, strong energy handling capability, and long service life under repeated surge stress.
Encased in a compact 2RL-8TH package, the 2R230LB-8TH allows easy PCB integration in space-constrained designs. It is widely used in telecommunications equipment, power supplies, industrial automation systems, smart meters, and consumer electronics, delivering reliable surge protection and enhanced system durability.
