HY-3205 Overview
The HY-3205 is a deuterium-filled, triode thyratron designed for grounded grid operation. The grounded grid configuration (Note 1) allows the tube to be operated at a higher peak current pared to a similar grounded cathode thyratron. The deuterium fill gas facilitates operation at a higher voltage and low to moderate pulse repetition rates as pared to similar thyratrons having a hydrogen fill gas.
