Solidtron Thyristors
The Solidtron family of products employ our advanced high voltage thyristors having incredibly fast and predictable turn-on performance as well as remarkably low conduction loss. These key attributes make Solidtron products ideally suited for use in a wide variety of pulsed-power applications where precise turn-on characteristics, reliability and longevity give them distinct advantages in certain applications over tube and spark-gap technology.
Solidtron products are a solid-state replacement for many spark-gaps, thyratrons, ignitrons and other legacy closing-switch technologies.
