7665A
Hydrogen-Filled Ceramic Thyratron
The data to be read in conjunction with the Hydrogen
Thyratron Preamble.
DESCRIPTION
The 7665A is a rugged hydrogen thyratron designed for use in
compact military and civil radars. It has a ceramic envelope with
a mounting flange and flying lead connections.
It features low jitter and low anode delay time and is suitable for
use at high pulse repetition rates; it can switch peak powers up
to 3 MW. The tube will operate over an ambient temperature
range of
7
55 to +130
8
C. A hydrogen reservoir is
incorporated.
This tube was designed to comply with, and is electrically
tested to, MIL-E-1/1485D.
