Interrupter Vibrator

2.938 inches nominal overall length, 1.500 inches nominal overall diameter, type no. an/gsc-t1 end item identification, 6.0 dc volts nominal input voltage rating, 85.0 hertz minimum and 104.0 hertz maximum output frequency rating, 3.0 amperes nominal input current rating

An electromechanical device which uses a coil operated switching mechanism to convert a direct current input into a pulsating direct current output of the same value. The direct current input is periodically interrupted at the resonant frequency of a coil driven vibrating armature (reed). The resultant pulsating direct current output produces an inherent alternating current component necessary for ultimate purposes of transformation. It does not include a means of amplification or rectification. For items designed to operate over a wide and comparatively high frequency range and whose drive coil may be excited from either an alternating current or a direct current, see chopper, electronic.
