TR231H-L is a leaded 230 V GDT intended to divert high-energy transient surges to ground. It is rated for 20 kA nominal 8/20 µs discharge current and has low capacitance of ≤1.0 pF.

Best for

  • High-energy surge diversion
  • Telecom and signal-line protection
  • Power and RF protection circuits with suitable coordination

Avoid if

  • The circuit operating voltage can exceed the 184 V minimum DC sparkover voltage
  • The design cannot safely handle GDT follow current or temporary power-frequency faults

Check before use

  • Confirm coordination with MOV, TVS, fuse, or other protection stages
  • Check grounding impedance and PCB clearance
  • Verify leaded mechanical fit and 4.4 mm lead spacing
