The GX2001 Series of two-electrode spark gaps are gas discharge tubes, hermetically sealed in a ceramic/metal envelope. Tubes with a DC breakdown voltage in the standard range 10 to 50 kV are available. Device breakdown voltage is signified by numerals (expressed in hundreds of volts) following the series type identifier: e.g. GX2001-200 has a DC breakdown voltage capability of 20 kV. For voltages above 40 Kv it is recommended that the device is immersed in insulating fluid.
Typical Applications
Single-shot pulse generators
