APP can supply higher current switches by using parallel thyristors and higher voltage
switches, for applications such as spark gap replacement, by connecting multiple
modules in series. Contact sales@appliedpulsedpower.com for more information.

Notes:
Mounting holes are for sized as a clearance fit for a #10-32 Screw
For higher power operation, attach base to a suitable heat sink
Gate return is electrically connected to the cathode
There is an internal 10Ω resistor between the gate and gate return
