Thyratron HY3202

The HY-3202 is a deuterium filled, triode thyratron designed for grounded grid operation. The grounded grid configuration Note 1 allows the tube to be operated at a higher peak current compared to a similar grounded cathode thyratron. The deuterium fill gas facilitates operation at a higher voltage and low to moderate pulse repetition rates as compared to similar thyratrons having a hydrogen fill gas. The relatively high pulse current is achieved while employing only free or forced air convection cooling. The tube is mounted by its grid mounting flange in any position.
