The 3R800A-5SS Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-voltage ceramic surge protection device engineered to protect sensitive electronic systems from transient overvoltage events such as lightning strikes and switching surges. Featuring an 800V DC spark-over voltage, this component is designed for high-voltage applications requiring strong and stable surge suppression performance.
Utilizing advanced gas discharge technology, the 3R800A-5SS provides 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 robust capability to withstand high impulse discharge current (8/20µs waveform) ensures efficient energy absorption and long operational life.
Compared to lower voltage GDT variants, the 800V model offers enhanced resistance to false triggering in high-voltage environments while maintaining reliable protection performance. The compact 3RA-5SS package enables efficient PCB layout and dependable operation in space-constrained applications.
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.
