The most widely used type of tube was the thyratron.

"And I'll bet we've almost got a thyratron tube over here.

Thyristor (and briefly, thyratron) dimmers were introduced to solve some of these problems.

It is somewhat similar to thyratron.

A thyratron is a type of gas filled tube used as a high energy electrical switch and controlled rectifier.

A thyratron is basically a "controlled gas rectifier".

Unlike a vacuum tube, a thyratron cannot be used to amplify signals linearly.

Other examples include the thyratron, krytron, sprytron, and ignitron tubes.

The thyratron is a special-purpose tube filled with low-pressure gas or mercury vapor.

Both classes can switch higher energy levels than any thyristor, thyratron, krytron, or sprytron.

Once turned on, the thyratron will remain on (conducting) as long as there is a significant current flowing through it.

The term "thyristor" was derived from a combination of "thyratron" and "transistor".

An earlier gas filled tube device called a thyratron provided a similar electronic switching capability, where a small control voltage could switch a large current.

In an automotive application, the thyratron CD ignition would fail in either weeks or months.

Some important examples include the thyratron, krytron, and ignitron tubes, which are used to switch high-voltage currents.

Soon the coils of its five-thousand-ton magnets began to drain their enormous currents from the thyratron converters.

However, switching service requiring voltages above 20 kV and involving very short risetimes remains within the domain of the thyratron.

The cold cathode gives crossatron an advantage of achievable lifetime and reliability in comparison to a hydrogen-filled thyratron.

One miniature thyratron found an additional use as a noise source, when operated as a diode in a transverse magnetic field.

VII, which used a Nixie tube display and 177 subminiature thyratron tubes.

Many types of cold-cathode switching tube were developed, including various types of thyratron, the krytron, and others.

These contracts made use of Desch's research into fast-firing vacuum tubes, including a high-speed thyratron Desch developed.

U Low-power tetrode thyratron, may mean:

Early field testing connected the circuit to a thyratron trigger operating a tower-mounted camera which photographed passing aircraft to determine distance of fuze function.

A fast discharge capacitor rapidly switched across the laser electrodes using a spark gap or thyratron provided the high voltage pulses.
