CV3524 / G1/236G gas relay
 |
This valve measures 37x9mm overall and has a 3 lead base. |
This valve was originally designed for "storage" purposes in telephone systems.
| Min main gap breakdown voltage | 235V |
| Nominal main gap maintaining voltage | 70V |
| Max control gap breakdown voltage | 85V |
| Nominal control gap maintaining voltage | 57V |
| Max cathode current | 1.5mA |
| Min cathode current | 0.5mA |
| Recommended anode voltage | 180V |
| Max trigger resistance | 1M ohms |
These valves are light sensitive during operation and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. However a small amount of light is needed to ensure correct dynamic operation and so if the valve is to be in an enclosed space a light source should be provided.
The trigger lead is central, with the cathode and anode leads at the edge. In a new unused valve the anode lead is indicated by it being cut shorter than the other two.
