Specialized - Thyratron ·Thyratron
Hot-cathode hydrogen thyratron for high-repetition-rate, high-voltage, high-peak-current pulse switching in pulse-modulator service.
Hot-cathode grid-controlled hydrogen thyratron designed for pulsing at high repetition frequencies, high peak currents and high voltages.
Super-jumbo 4-contact bayonet
General specifications
Properties common to every published source and operating point.
Electrical assignments shared by every tube using this base designation.
No verified pinout is recorded for this base designation.
1 physical section, each with unique specifications.
Section 1
Thyratron pulse ratings promoted where semantically compatible; trigger, delay, jitter, reservoir and current-rate data retained as parameters.
Source-dependent data
Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
