hand grenade....4 pins.....not glass, all plastic (composite)


A "solid state thyratron" is basically a silicon controlled rectifier in
a thyratron-shaped package, maybe with the addition of some
signal-conditioning to adapt grid drive to gate drive. Probably intended
as a replacement for the mercury-vapor thyratrons WeCo used in their PBX
battery chargers.
