The 3R230A-5S is a high-reliability Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) designed for robust surge protection in modern electronic, telecom, and industrial systems. Built in a compact 3RA-5S ceramic SMD package, this device provides effective over-voltage protection by safely diverting high-energy transient surges away from sensitive circuit components. Manufactured by RUILON, it ensures stable performance, long service life, and strong surge endurance under repeated electrical stress conditions.
This GDT features a 230V DC spark-over voltage (measured at 100V/µs), making it ideal for protecting medium-voltage signal lines, communication interfaces, and electronic circuits. It also supports impulse spark-over capability at 1kV/µs, ensuring fast response against lightning surges, switching transients, and electrostatic discharge events. With ultra-low capacitance at 1 MHz, it is well-suited for high-speed data transmission and signal integrity-critical applications.
The 3R230A-5S offers high insulation resistance and optimized discharge behavior, including stable glow voltage at 10mA and controlled arc voltage at 1A, ensuring efficient energy dissipation during surge events. Its high impulse discharge current capability (8/20µs waveform) enhances durability under repetitive surge stress, while its impulse withstand voltage rating ensures long-term operational reliability in harsh environments.
