Description Features Applications Datasheet PDF file Application Notes Technical Support Request for Quotation

High Energy Devices’ Triggergaps are high energy spark gaps that are capable of switching stored energy in a fraction of a microsecond upon command. Triggergaps require no standby power, are extremely rugged, and require only a low-energy, high-voltage triggering pulse. The miniature TA series (1.0-15.0kV) provides switching capability for pulses with energy content as high as 50 joules. The larger TB series (2.5-25.0kV) will reliably switch pulses with up to 300 joules of energy. The TG221 to 226 (1.0-60.0kV) can switch pulses with energy contents of up to 6,000 joules and feature adjustable main static breakdown voltages.

• Tight main static breakdown voltage tolerance (±10% - TA & TB series)
• Adjustable main static breakdown voltage (TG221 to TG226)
• Rugged ceramic-metal construction
• Refractory metal electrodes
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel external surfaces (TB series)

• High current surge generators
• Exploding bridge wire systems
• Crowbars
• Flashlamp triggers
