Teledyne e2v Pulsed Thyratrons
Industry-standard switching hardware enabling precise pulsed discharges in high-energy physics.
01 Definition
High-reliability, gas-filled switching tubes manufactured by Teledyne e2v for fast, high-voltage pulsed power applications.
02 Detailed_Analysis
Teledyne e2v high-power pulsed thyratrons are specialized hydrogen- and deuterium-filled ceramic-metal electron tubes designed for high-voltage, high-current pulse switching. Widely utilized in linear accelerators, pulsed radar, and experimental plasma devices, these thyratrons deliver precise sub-nanosecond jitter, hold-off voltages reaching over 100 kV, and peak current ratings of tens of kiloamperes with rapid recovery times.
03 Key_Facts
- ▸ Ceramic-metal hydrogen/deuterium gas discharge switches
- ▸ Capable of switching >100 kV hold-off voltages with sub-nanosecond jitter
- ▸ Critical components in military radar, accelerators, and pulsed plasma systems
