The GXH Series of 2-electrode spark gaps are gas discharge tubes, hermetically sealed in a glass/metal envelope. Tubes with a DC breakdown voltage in the range 0.5kV to 5kV are available. This is signified by a numeral or numerals following the type letters and is expressed in hundreds of volts.

 

 

Applications:

l Single-shot pulse generators

l Turbine engine ignition circuits 

l Medical lithotripsy 

l High energy switches

 

Electrical And Physical Characteristics:

All ratings given in this data sheet a reab solute, nonsimultaneous ratings. It is the equipment designer’s responsibility to ensure that they are not exceeded. The spark gap life depends on circuit conditions such as peak discharge current and duration, charge transfer per discharge and the repetition rate.

 

 

^{There are two types for you to choose:}

 

It has terminals on both ends:

 

 

This is only one end with a terminal:
