BGAC 1014 /102

Description

Flashtubes BGAC 1014 /102 are light sources with high power density. Therefore they are only made of high-temperature materials. They consist of a tube made of hard glass with electrodes (anode/cathode) sealed in at each end. When connecting flashtubes, polarity must be observed. Electronic flashtubes are gas discharge devices for pulse operation. Xenon is used as a fill-gas for most applications. The flash duration ranges usually between 10us to 10ms. For single flashes, the discharges are produced arbitrarily. In comparison to the flash duration, the off-times are very long. Almost all flashtubes are equipped with a capacitive trigger electrode. For example, a wire wrapped around the tube, a silver strip or transparent conductive coating on the outside of the glass. Leads on electrodes can be supplied with solid or flexible wires per our standards or customer specifications. Some types of tubes of BGAC 1014 /102 are also supplied with bases and protective covers. This flashtube has an outer diameter of 2.5mm and an arc length of 14mm.
