15-80/СК-220 [1967] (СЛЗ)

Определённо этот вариант выпущен позже этого и раньше вот этого (который, кстати, и является первым из известных советских стартёров на 220В без отверстия, и обозначен также как СК-220 – о чём и была речь в вышеприведённой цитате).

Вместо того, чтобы сравнивать формы лепестков корпуса и цвета выводов, я предлагаю сравнить внутренние колбы ("неонки"). У этого стартёра она ещё "старорежимная" (большая со штенгелем), занимает почти весь внутренний объём корпуса. Цвет свечения – красный (именно красный, а не обычный неоново-оранжевый). Такие колбы характерны для 60-х годов, а маркировка "15-80" подсказывает нам, что дело было ближе к их второй половине (~1965...68 гг.). Кстати, выводы из полированной нержавейки также весьма диковинны и в дальнейшем особо не встречались.

У здешнего стартёра все признаки, характерные для 1969...71 гг. выпуска. Главным образом, уже "новая" упрощённая бесштенгельная трубчатая колба (кстати, вангую цвет свечения – сиреневый ) и впервые появившаяся цена 44 копейки Вот например его двоюродные братики выпуска другого завода.

Что касается этих стартёров, это уже стопудово так сказать финальная, "современная" версия СК-220: бесштенгельная колба, сиреневое свечение, анодированный (?) корпус без отверстия и алюминиевые выводы – такие же, как почти у всех 80С-220. Т.е. это уже ближе к середине 80-х. Вообще история стартёров довольно занятная штука – в период с 1964 по 1977 гг. прогресс происходил чуть ли не каждый год, так что датировку можно установить очень точно

Interestingly, these older style SLZ starters that specifically stated CK15-80 and NOT C80-220 always had either "pill" shaped bulb with BLUE glow inside and two symetrical contacts, or the big cylinder shaped bulb with exhaust mount and getter inside, and it also had blue glow. I have thought about it for a long time why the Blue argon filled starter bulbs were somehow superior that they had a whole diferent marking for them and I concluded that blue glowing bulbs were superior by starting the lamps more easily. The blue glwing bulbs always had symetrical contacts, never had the typical UI shaped contacts like the neon C80 had. And the blue glow as much cooler so the starter took longer time to close and open, unlike the C80 witch convulced rather than switched and the lamp had a seizure if it was very cold, so the blue glowing starter took longer breaks between closing and opening so the cathodes of the tube had more time to heat up so the strike of the arc was easier in cold environments. But it is still a mistery if that is true, it was just my own observation. Also the mistery is why some starters randomly had the pill shape bulb and some had the cylinder bulb with exhaust mont. I have seen the age graph posted by Dominique, but I doubt that it is always coirrect, as I have CK15-80 starters without a hole from 1980s and they still had the big bulb inside. I suspect that the big cylinder bulb was superior to longer life because the white coating inside was not a random wonder, but indeed a getter - a design copied from Philips as they used a getter inside their starter bulbs as well to prolong the life and to purify the berakdown voltage, so basicaly, the big cylinder bulb was always more trust worthy to always work even in the lamp was turned on once every three months in a -40C ambient temperature, as some of the other starters very well just get "preserved' and not start a breakdown voltage for some time or until some ambient light would enter the casing of the starter and aid in starting the breakdown arc. So basically to conclude my tirade, the starters with CK15-80 (exlusively I should mention that this does not apply to PZGRL starters as thy had the same marking but the simple C80 neon bulbs inside) marking always had either a big flask cylinder bulb with a seperate exhaust mount and a getter inside to purify the starter gas, or the ismple pill tube but with two symmetrcial contacts and argon fill to make the breakdown less hot so the starter would take longer pre-heat periods to help heat the cathodes of the tube longer and I suspect that CK15-80 starters were better suited to be used with high power 80 watt lamps as the convultion of the C80-220 starter really did not do any favor to the life of the lamp. Starters with C80-220 marking never had a big cylinder bulb inside and never had a blue argon fill, always only had just the neon fill. Of course some of you may ask then what is the gimic with the purple glowing starters from SPO svetoitechnika and"trident with a dumpling" starters, as they both used the purple glowing starters with a filling consisting of argon, neon, xenon and a little bit of krypton. And to answer you - I have no clue. I believe that the tsraters with purple or violet glow were the same thing as C80-220 asnd they were just a predescesor of that new standard as the contacts were the same but were changed to more sturdy bimetalic "U" so the starter would work better as the old purple glow starters with the big and flemsy "U" usually welded themself shut if entountered an EOL lamp for a longer period of time, while the C80 can convulse an EOL lamp for decades and not get stuck.

Стартеров у меня немного, и я их особенно никогда и не собирал. Так, если достался вместе с светильником.

У меня со стартерами тоже так почти все время. Например, бывало изредка покупал что-либо чисто для установки в работу. А так то тоже со светильниками доставались.
