Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH04231035A] PURPOSE: To manufacture a spark gap for lithomyl which has light weight simply by making an inner conductor extremely shorter than an outer conductor, protruding the outer conductor from a rear end of the spark gap by crossing over the inner conductor, and providing a hollow chamber inside an insulation body. CONSTITUTION: An outside diameter of an inner IL is extremely smaller than an inside diameter of an outer conductor AL. The outer conductor AL is very longer than the inner conductor IL and protrudes more than the inner conductor IL in a rear end part of a spark gap. The spark gap has a hollow chamber HO inside an insulation body I, and this hollow chamber HO is opened in the direction of a rear end of the spark gap, and its boundary is specified by the surrounding by the inner conductor IL itself and the insulation body I in the opposite direction. Moreover, a section of a cross section A-A of the spark gap has a part which passes through the outer conductor AL to an inner insulation body I by an outer insulation body 12. Consequently, a snap connection which is a secure connection and can be manufactured simply occurs.
