[HIGH ENERGY DEVICES]

Description
The TX is a series of miniature triggered spark gaps designed for high reliability switching with Main Static Breakdown’s between 2.0 and 10.0kVdc and are available at relatively low cost. This series of gaps is capable of switching stored energy in a fraction of a microsecond upon command. Trigger gaps use no standby power, are extremely rugged and require only a low energy high voltage trigger pulse. They are hermetically sealed at high braze temperatures and will withstand rugged environmental conditions.
