The 2RS-8×6 series is a surface-mount gas discharge tube designed for transient voltage surge protection applications requiring high-power surge suppression. This series offers multiple DC breakdown voltage ranges from 75V to 600V with a ±20% tolerance. The corresponding 1kV/μs impulse spark overvoltage range is 600V to 1400V, ensuring precise overvoltage triggering. This device features an ultra-low capacitance of ≤1pF, effectively preventing signal interference on high-speed data communication lines, while maintaining a high insulation resistance of typically ≥10GΩ to ensure low leakage current. Its core feature is its ability to withstand pulse discharge currents up to 10kA with 8/20μs waveforms and 10A at 50Hz AC.
Compliant with the ITU-T K.12 standard, it provides reliable surge protection for high-power applications. Supporting a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C, it is primarily used in communication base station equipment, industrial control systems, broadband CATV coaxial protectors, power input stages, and other protection circuits requiring high surge withstand capability. The 2RS-8×6 series adopts an 8.2mm × 6mm surface-mount package.
