The 3R230B-5S is a high-reliability Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) engineered for effective surge protection in modern electronic, telecom, and industrial systems. Designed in a compact 3RB-5S ceramic SMD package, this device provides robust over-voltage protection by safely diverting high-energy transient surges away from sensitive electronic circuits. 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 suitable for protecting medium-voltage signal lines, communication interfaces, and electronic systems. 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-sensitive applications.
The 3R230B-5S offers high insulation resistance and optimized discharge characteristics, 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.
