The 3R470A-5SS Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-performance ceramic surge protection device designed to protect electronic systems from transient overvoltage events such as lightning strikes and switching surges. Featuring a 470V DC spark-over voltage, this component is ideal for medium- to high-voltage applications requiring stable and reliable surge suppression.
Built with advanced gas discharge technology, the 3R470A-5SS ensures stable impulse spark-over voltage at 1KV/µs, along with high insulation resistance and low capacitance at 1 MHz, minimizing signal distortion in communication and control circuits. Its strong capability to withstand high impulse discharge current (8/20µs waveform) provides excellent surge absorption and long service life.
Compared to lower voltage GDT variants, the 470V model offers improved resistance to false triggering in higher voltage environments while maintaining consistent protection performance. The compact 3RA-5SS package supports efficient PCB layout and reliable 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 dependable and long-lasting circuit protection.
