High Energy Devices’ TG Legacy Series of two

electrode sparkgaps excel in applications that require

the efficient transfer of high voltage, high energy

pulses and DC overvoltage protection for magnetrons,

diodes, capacitors, etc.

A complete part number is represented by the

information contained in the Part Number column of

the specification table.

Devices in the TG Two Electrode Legacy Series with other breakdown

voltages in the .2-60.0kV range are available upon request. Also refer to the

SB/SG Series Spark Gaps for additional product availability.

TG Two Electrode Legacy Series

Spark Gaps

(1) 6-32 tapped hole in non-tubulated end.

(2) Identical tubulation on both ends.

(3) The voltage level at which the spark discharge occurs when a unipolarity pulse train is applied to the gap. Typically, the pulse repetition rate is 400 pps

(pulses/second) with a rise time of 0.3 µs and a pulse width of 0.5 µs. The “initial” range specifies at what increasing voltage the gap begins to fire and

the “rep” range specifies at what decreasing voltage the gap ceases to fire repetitively.

(4) Pulse repetition rate is 1500pps instead of the standard 400pps.

(5) Though outlines 2, 3, and 3A are identical, the electrode materials and configurations vary internally.

(6) Though outlines 4 and 4A are identical, gaps with outline 4A have heavier internal construction to withstand more severe shock and vibration.
