This paper describes the proton injection kicker system designed to accept protons from the Fermilab Conventional Main Ring in the Tevatron Superconducting Ring. The pulse forming network (PFN) based thyratron switch tube pulser delivers a 100 ns rise, 200 ns fall, 40 KV pulse to a 6.25 ohm traveling wave magnet load. The pulse duration is adjustable up to a maximum of about22 /sigma phi/sec. The design philosophy, magnet parameters, and system performance are discussed.
