From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"TheSprytron, otherwise known as the Vacuum Krytron, is a device of very similar performance to the Krytron. Though it generally exhibits a somewhat lower time delay after triggering. The Sprytron is designed for use in environments were high levels of radiation are present. The sprytron is a hard vacuum 'filled' device unlike the krytron which, as noted above contains a low pressure gas.

The Sprytron has only three leads, (no keep alive), but is otherwise very similar in outward construction to the Krytron. The reason for the use of a vacuum filling is almost certainly that there is no medium present for radiation from the external environment to ionize (such ionization could promote spurious triggering effects.)

The Sprytron requires a more powerful trigger pulse than the Krytron, as the device works by forming an arc directly between the trigger and the cathode, which causes the tube to breakdown (go into conduction) by disrupting the field between the anode and cathode."

[edit] German?

Given your choice of sources and section titles in Abel Foullon, one wonders if you're a German speaker? That of course doesn't prevent you from contributing here, because your English is fine, but I thought I'd point out that the German Wikipedia appears not to have an article on this guy. de:Hauptseite will get you to the German version if you didn't already know.
