Introduce:
CX1536A is a high power two-gap metal-ceramic structure thyratron filled with deuterium, which 
has the characteristics of high peak anode current, high switching power and high repeat frequency. 
It can be used as ultra high power pulse switch in radar, high-energy laser, high-energy accelerator 
etc.


Anode Parameters

Rate of rise of anode current: 10kA/μs (See note 2, 3)
Operating frequency: 50Hz~5kHz (See note 4)
Pulse power: 250MW

Grid 2 Drive
Unloaded grid 2 drive pulse voltage: 1000V~2000V
Grid 2 pulse duration: 1μs min
Rate of rise of grid 2 pulse: 10kV/μs min
Peak inverse grid 2 voltage: 450V max
Loaded grid 2 bias voltage: -50V~-200V
Peak pulse trigger current: 5A~40A
Grid 2 pulse delay: 0.5μs ~3μs

Grid 1 Pulse Drive 
Unload grid 1 drive pulse voltage: 600V~2000 V
Grid 1 pulse duration: 2μs min
Rate of rise of grid 1 pulse: 1kV/μs 
Peak inverse grid 1 voltage: 450V max

Capacity between anode and grid 2: 45 pF

Mechanical Parameters 
Mounting position: Any (See note 5)
Weight: About 10.8 kg
Dimension: See outline
Cooling way: Forced-air (See note 6)

Typical Characteristics
Critical conduction anode voltage: 2000V max
Anode delay time: 350ns max
Anode delay time drift: 25 ns max
Time jitter: 10 ns max

Notes:
1. Peak inverse anode voltage (include peak) must not exceed 10KV within 25 μs after impulse 
current discharge finished, otherwise it will damage the grid and cause spark inside the tube and 
shorten the working life.
2. This rate of rise refers to that part of the leading edge of the pulse between 26% and 70% of the 
pulse amplitude.
3. Under single narrow pulse working condition, rate of rise of the current can exceed 100kA/μs, 
finally value greatly depend on the external circuit.
4. Maximum operating frequency depends on the external charge and discharge circuit, generally 
operating frequency exceed 50Hz. Command charge circuit is recommended to ensure the 
thyratron is under favorable working voltage.
5. The tube must be mounted by means of its cathode mounting flange. The preferred installation 
direction is axial vertical installation with anode upward, axial horizontal installation is also allowed, 
but had better not use axial vertical installation method with anode adown.
6. Air flow is no less than 7.1m3
/min. The temperature of the envelope must not exceed the value 

specified below:
Ceramic, anode and grids…………………………………….……………150℃
Cathode mounting flange and base……………………………………120℃
