The 2RL1400L-8 is a RoHS compliant discharge tube, also known as a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) or Transient Suppression spark gap (TSS), manufactured by Yageo. This device is designed to provide high-speed protection against voltage transients, such as lightning induced surges and electrostatic discharges. This two-terminal device is composed of reactive anode and cathode terminals that create a low-resistance electrical path when triggered, limiting the transient voltage to safe levels. The 2RL1400L-8 offers a maximum voltage of 1400 Vrms, minimal coverage gap of 8 mm, and clamping voltage of 700 V. The device is sold in bulk package, making it ideal for protecting many channels of telecommunications equipment.
