The SMD5050-230NA Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) from RUILON is a high-performance surge protection device designed to protect electronic systems from lightning strikes, transient overvoltage, and high-energy surge disturbances. With a nominal DC spark-over voltage of 230V (tested at 100V/µs), it provides fast and reliable triggering, effectively diverting surge currents away from sensitive components and ensuring stable system operation.
Built using advanced ceramic gas discharge technology, the SMD5050-230NA delivers stable impulse spark-over characteristics at 1kV/µs, along with high insulation resistance and low capacitance at 1 MHz. These features make it ideal for high-speed communication lines and precision electronic applications where signal integrity is critical. Its strong impulse discharge current capability (8/20µs waveform) and excellent impulse withstanding voltage ensure long service life and consistent protection performance under repeated surge conditions.
Compared to lower voltage variants, the 230V model offers higher voltage tolerance and improved protection margins, making it suitable for industrial control systems, telecom infrastructure, and power supply applications. The SMD5050 package provides superior thermal dissipation, higher surge current handling capability, and robust mechanical strength, while supporting efficient surface-mount assembly for modern PCB designs.
