ABRIDGED DATA

Hydrogen-filled tetrode thyratron with ceramic envelope, featuring extremely low jitter, low anode delay time drift and high rate of rise of current. A hydrogen reservoir operating from a separate, variable heater supply is incorporated.

CX1599 is a fast, precise switch originally designed for use in pulse generators to drive Kerr cells, Pockel cells or spark chambers. Anode voltage must be command charged and applied for less than 10 ms. The tube geometry allows it to be mounted in a coaxial housing in order to minimise the total circuit inductance.
