PerkinElmer’s Overvoltage
Spark Gaps are a family of rugged
ceramic-metal hermetically sealed
switches for voltages ranging from
500 volts to 100 kV. These switches
have peak current capabilities of up
to 50 kA. They are ideal for protecting
equipment from damaging high volt-
age surges when they are used in
"crowbar" applications. They are also
suitable for capacitor switching appli-
cations. The OGP-series offer the
broadest operating range, while the
PGP and PB series offer fast switching
for high dv/dt applications. The PB
series is intended for direct mounting
on printed circuit boards.
