2R230TK-8 230V DIP Gas Discharge Tube | Fast Switching GDT <50ns | High Surge Current | RUILON

The 2R230TK-8 Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-performance surge protection device designed to deliver reliable overvoltage protection in AC power and signal line applications. Built with advanced ceramic gas discharge technology, this DIP series component ensures rapid response to lightning surges, switching transients, and other high-energy disturbances.

With a nominal static breakdown voltage of approximately 230V, the 2R230TK-8 provides precise protection for low to medium voltage circuits. Its ultra-fast breakdown time of less than 50 ns enables immediate activation, effectively clamping surge voltages and protecting sensitive electronic components. Compared to higher voltage GDT variants, this model offers earlier triggering, making it ideal for applications requiring faster intervention.

The device features stable first ignition values even after extended periods of inactivity and consistent following ignition characteristics during continuous operation. It supports high switching durability with up to 2×10⁵ operations at +25°C and maintains reliable performance across varying switching frequencies. Its strong surge handling capability ensures dependable protection under repeated transient conditions.

Encased in a robust DIP package, the 2R230TK-8 allows easy through-hole mounting and secure integration into circuit designs. It is widely used in telecommunications, power supplies, industrial equipment, and surge protection modules.
