Product Description:

The Gas Discharge Tube is a robust and reliable component designed for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from transient overvoltages and surge events. This state-of-the-art protective device is based on gas ionization technology, which is a well-established method for voltage regulation and surge suppression. Our Gas Discharge Tube, with its unique set of features, is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications that require efficient and effective protection against electrical transients.

At the heart of the product is a two-electrode system, setting the standard for the basic structure of a Gas Discharge Tube. This 2 Electrode configuration is fundamental in ensuring a straightforward and predictable operation. When the voltage across the electrodes exceeds the ionization level of the gas within the tube, a spark-over occurs, creating a conductive path and diverting the excess voltage away from the protected circuit. This mechanism provides a fast, effective response to overvoltage events, safeguarding electronic components from potential damage.

The design of the Gas Discharge Tube adopts a coaxial shape which is encapsulated in a robust DO-35 glass envelope. This configuration not only contributes to the compact and durable nature of the device but also ensures that the tube can be easily integrated into a wide variety of electronic assemblies. The coaxial design is particularly beneficial for maintaining signal integrity and minimizing insertion loss, making it highly suitable for high-frequency applications.

With an electrode capacitance of less than 1 picofarad (<1PF), the Gas Discharge Tube boasts minimal impact on the normal operation of the circuit it protects. This low capacitance is crucial in preserving the integrity of high-speed signal transmission, ensuring that the protective device does not introduce significant capacitance that could degrade the performance of the protected circuit.

One of the key features of our Gas Discharge Tube is the incorporation of a failsafe mechanism. This additional level of protection ensures that even in the unlikely event of a component failure, the circuit remains protected. The failsafe design is an important feature that provides peace of mind to users, knowing that their electronic equipment has an extra layer of safeguarding against unpredictable surge events.

The leads of the Gas Discharge Tube are designed with a diameter of 1.5mm, offering a robust connection to the circuit board. This lead diameter is optimized to balance mechanical strength and ease of installation. The leads are made from a high-quality material that ensures both good electrical conductivity and resistance to mechanical stresses, such as vibration or thermal expansion.

Our Gas Discharge Tube is commonly referred to as a Gas-Discharge Tubular Lamp due to its resemblance to a small light bulb. However, it is important to note that its purpose is not illumination but protection. It functions as a Spark Gap Gas Discharge Tube that effectively clamps high-voltage transients, thereby preventing them from causing harm to sensitive electronic circuits. The rapid response time of the spark gap mechanism is one of the key factors in its effectiveness as a surge protection device.

In conclusion, our Gas Ionization Discharge Tube represents a harmonious blend of form and function, offering a comprehensive solution for protecting electronic equipment against voltage transients. With its 2 Electrode design, coaxial shape, low electrode capacitance, failsafe protection, and robust lead diameter, it stands out as a premier choice for engineers and technicians looking to enhance the longevity and reliability of their electronic systems. Whether deployed in telecommunications, industrial control systems, or consumer electronics, our Gas Discharge Tube provides unmatched performance in a wide array of surge protection applications.
