Fast High Voltage Switches (& Solid State Relays) Available in the USA

The Behlke high voltage switch and solid state relay lines are now available in the US.  The new Behlke distributor is High Voltage Connection. 

These fast electronic switches can be used to switch high voltages and high currents.  The typical application for a high speed switch is in the range of 3kV to 12kV, and for currents in the milliamp region.  However, they are available for higher voltages and currents.  Features include:

• Voltages up to 120 kV
• Peak currents up to 32 kA
• di/dt's up to 32 kA/ μs
• Rise times 1 ns  to 500 ns
• Peak power up to 256 MW
• Galvanic isolation
• TTL control input
