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 trig.

Spark Gaps are designed for high reliability switching up to 4 kV and 10 kA. Constructed of hermetically sealed ceramic-metal, filled with pressurized gas, they are typically used for activating electro-explosive devices such as exploding bridgewires, electronic safe and arm systems, and detonators. PerkinElmer’s Trigger Transformers are matched to the requirements of the Mini-Triggered Spark Gaps to provide a high voltage pulse with a fast rise time and low current. PerkinElmer Trigger Transformers are designed to be the most durable and reliable transformers available.
