TZ231M-L

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters

GDTsurge protection10 kA230 Vleaded

TZ231M-L is a leaded 230 V gas discharge tube rated for 10 kA nominal 8/20 µs surge current.

Best for

  • Leaded surge protection on signal and power lines
  • Applications requiring low capacitance and high impulse current handling

Avoid if

  • The normal operating voltage can exceed the GDT's minimum firing voltage
  • A defined lifecycle or guaranteed supply status is required but has not been verified

Check before use

  • Circuit operating voltage
  • Surge waveform and current
  • Ground connection and PCB spacing
  • Coordination with MOVs or other protection devices
