The data to be read in conjunction with the Hydrogen
Thyratron Preamble.
ABRIDGED DATA
Deuterium-filled, flange mounted tetrode thyratron featuring
high peak current, high rate of rise of current, low jitter and low
anode delay time drift. It has been specifically designed to
switch discharge circuits for pulsed lasers and for switching
long pulses. It has an internally connected reservoir operated
from the cathode heater supply and an internal shield to
minimise X-ray emission from the region of the anode.
