FEATURES
● High reliability● Extremely low jitter
● Environmentally durable
● Small size
● Matching trigger transformers PerkinElmer Optoelectronics page 3 Miniature Triggered Spark Gaps The triggered spark gap is a three element, gas-filled, ceramic-to-metal, hermetically sealed, pressurized switch that operates in an arc discharge mode, conducting moderately high peak currents for short durations. Commutation between two main electrodes is initiated by a trigger pulse. These compact small, rugged gaps were designed for high-reliability applications where size, switch speed, and ability to withstand rugged missile environmental conditions of extreme shock, temperature, and vibration are required. They are designed for switching peak currents up to 10kA at operating voltages from 2.0 to 4.0 kV with reliable triggering voltage of 2kV. Prefires and failure to fire have been fully evaluated in the basic gap designs. Performance Characteristics Electrical characteristics are determined by testing in the circuit shown in Figure 1.
