Specialized - Thyratron ·Thyratron
High-voltage hydrogen thyratron interchangeable with 5C22, using a self-contained hydrogen source for stable pulse service.
High-voltage hydrogen thyratron interchangeable with 5C22 except for its self-contained hydrogen source.
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
Hydrogen-filled thyratron; maximum peak cathode current is 325 A and average cathode current is 0.2 A. Pulse/trigger limits preserved 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.
