SUBMINIATURE GAS - FILLED DIODE

The CK6437 / CK1037 is a cold cathode, corona-discharge tube of subminiature construction, designed for use as a voltage regulator in high voltage low current supplies. It has operating current range of 5 to 125 μa. over which it maintains a substantially constant operating voltage of 700 volts. Two cathode leads are provided which may be used to disconnect the load when the tube is removed from the socket. The flexible terminal leads may be soldered or welded directly to the terminals of circuit components without the use of sockets. Standard inline subminiature sockets may be used by cutting the leads to a suitable length.
