2R3600T-8 3600V Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Surge Protector – 2R-8 Package | RUILON

RUILON

The RUILON 2R3600T-8 Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) is a high-voltage ceramic surge protection device designed to safeguard sensitive electronic systems from damaging transient overvoltage events. With a DC spark-over voltage of 3600V, this GDT provides strong insulation and reliable breakdown control, making it ideal for primary surge protection in power and communication circuits.

Engineered with advanced gas discharge technology, the 2R3600T-8 offers ultra-low capacitance and high insulation resistance, ensuring minimal signal interference in high-speed and RF-sensitive applications. It responds rapidly to lightning surges, switching spikes, and electrostatic discharge, efficiently diverting high surge energy away from critical components.

Compared to lower-voltage protection devices, this 3600V-rated GDT delivers superior surge endurance, reduced false triggering, and enhanced system stability under harsh electrical conditions. Its ceramic-sealed structure ensures excellent thermal stability, long service life, and consistent arc performance even under repeated high-energy impulses.

The compact 2R-8 package allows easy PCB integration in space-constrained designs, making it suitable for modern industrial and telecom systems. The RUILON 2R3600T-8 is widely used in telecommunications equipment, industrial automation, power supplies, outdoor electronics, and surge protection modules where high-voltage robustness and long-term reliability are essential.
