The 2RE470L-8 is a Discharge Tube (GDT/TSS) Axial, 8x6mm RoHS manufactured by FTR. It is an electronic component designed to protect an electrical circuit from dangerous overvoltages and susceptibility to electrical noise. It consists of two electrodes encased in a glass envelope and filled with gas. When exposed to an overvoltage, the gas in the tube produces an electrical arc that quickly and safely dissipates the energy. The 2RE470L-8 is RoHS compliant, meaning it is made from substances and processes that do not harm the environment. It is rated for a voltage of 470 V, a capacitance of 18-20 pF, and a breakdown voltage of 450 V. This device is suitable for use in DC and AC applications including power supplies, motor control systems, switchgear, and surge protection.
