2R230TB-5 230V Gas Discharge Tube – 2RB-5 Package | RUILON

RUILON

The 2R230TB-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, switching surges, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Engineered with advanced gas discharge technology, it delivers fast response and stable long-term protection in demanding electrical environments.

With a DC spark-over voltage of 230V, this component is well-suited for medium-voltage applications, providing an optimal balance between sensitivity and operational stability. Compared to lower-voltage GDT variants, it reduces false triggering while ensuring effective surge suppression during high-energy events. The device supports high impulse discharge current (8/20µs) and features excellent impulse spark-over performance (1kV/µs), ensuring reliable protection under harsh conditions.

The device features low capacitance at 1 MHz, preserving signal integrity in high-speed communication systems, while high insulation resistance minimizes leakage current and improves efficiency. Stable glow voltage and arc voltage characteristics ensure consistent operation and extended service life.

Encased in a compact 2RB-5 package, the 2R230TB-5 allows easy integration into space-constrained PCB designs. It is widely used in telecommunications equipment, power supplies, industrial automation systems, smart meters, and consumer electronics, delivering dependable surge protection and enhanced system reliability.
