Replacement
The Model S61 is a high voltage switch for high pulserepetition rate systems. It can be used to replace thyratronsas well as gas and vacuum triggered spark gap switches inhigh voltage applications such as modulators. This switchconsists of multiple series connected fast turn-off thyristorsspecifically designed for high di/dt, high voltage, pulsedpower applications. Snubber capacitance and resistivebalancing are included making it easier to use than aThyratron, such as E2V's CX1154L or a triggered sparkgap.

Notes: 1. Assumes TTL over BNC into 50Ω for trigger input. Other trigger circuit options for trigger input
and power are available, contact technical support for more details.2. Assuming at least 160LFM 25°C air flow over switch.3. For height dimension, H, see part number selection guide
S61 Options-H High Frequency, up to 2500Hz-F Fans Included
We recommend our EA0046 trigger circuit for this switch. Other trigger options are available.
