The 3R250A-5SS 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 and switching surges. Featuring a 250V DC spark-over voltage, this component provides an effective balance between fast response and stable operation for medium-voltage applications.
Built with advanced gas discharge technology, the 3R250A-5SS delivers stable impulse spark-over voltage at 1KV/µs, along with high insulation resistance and low capacitance at 1 MHz, ensuring minimal signal distortion in communication and control circuits. Its strong capability to withstand high impulse discharge current (8/20µs waveform) ensures reliable surge absorption and long operational life.
Compared to lower voltage GDT variants, the 250V model offers improved resistance to nuisance triggering while maintaining efficient surge suppression performance. The compact 3RA-5SS package supports efficient PCB layout and dependable operation in space-constrained designs.
This GDT is widely used in telecommunications equipment, power supplies, industrial automation systems, signal line protection, and surge protection devices (SPD), delivering consistent and long-lasting circuit protection.
