GP-89 Datasheet, PDF (1/4 Pages) PerkinElmer Optoelectronics – Triggered Spark Gaps

PerkinElmer’s Triggered
Spark Gaps are a family of versatile
high voltage switches. They consist
of three electrodes in a hermetically
sealed, pressurized ceramic enve-
lope. Triggered Spark Gaps are
generally characterized by a peak
current capability of thousands to
tens of thousands of amperes, delay
times of tens of nanoseconds, arc
resistance of tens of milliohms and
inductance of 5 to 30 nanohenries.
They are suitable for capacitor
switching applications such as flash-
lamps, electrically pumped gas
lasers, medical lithotripters, and
as crowbar protection devices.
