CX1551 Deuterium Thyratron The data to be read in conjunction with the Hydrogen Thyratron Preamble. ABRIDGED DATA Deuterium-filled tetrode thyratron, featuring low jitter and low anode delay time drift. Suitable for use at high pulse repetition rates, in parallel for switching higher powers, or for switching long pulses. A reservoir operating from the cathode heater supply is incorporated. The tube is flange mounted with flexible lead connections.
