SMD4042-470E 470V Gas Discharge Tube – SMD4042 Package | RUILON

RUILON

The SMD4042-470E Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-performance ceramic surge protection device designed to protect electronic circuits from high-energy transient overvoltage events. Utilizing advanced gas discharge technology, it ensures rapid response to lightning strikes, switching surges, and electrostatic discharge (ESD), delivering reliable and long-term circuit protection.

With a DC spark-over voltage of 470V, this component is ideal for medium to high-voltage applications, providing enhanced system stability and reducing the risk of premature triggering compared to lower-voltage GDT series. It features strong impulse spark-over performance (1kV/µs) and supports high impulse discharge current (8/20µs), making it suitable for demanding electrical environments.

The device offers low capacitance at 1 MHz, preserving signal integrity in high-speed communication systems, along with high insulation resistance to minimize leakage current. Stable glow voltage and arc voltage characteristics ensure consistent operation and extended service life.

Encased in a compact SMD4042 package, the SMD4042-470E allows easy surface-mount integration and flexible PCB design. It is widely used in telecommunications, industrial equipment, power systems, smart grid infrastructure, and consumer electronics, delivering dependable surge protection and improved system reliability.
