Description
Product sheets from the 1960s describes this as "an extremely compact external-anode tetrode intended for use as a radio-frequency amplifier, frequency multiplier, or oscillator at frequencies well into the UHF region or as an amplifier in any service requiring a high-gain tube capable of delivering high power-output at low plate-voltage. The combination of a high ratio of transconductance to capacitance and a plate dissipation capability of 150 watts makes the tube an excellent wide-band amplifier for video application. The cathode, grid and screen electrodes are mounted on conical and cylindrical supports giving a minimum of circuit discontinuities and lead inductance. The rugged cylindrical terminals, progressively larger in size, allow the tube to be inserted in coaxial line cavities. The screen support and terminal provide maximum isolation between the grid-cathode terminals and the plate circuit. In amplifier service at 500 megacycles, output power of 140 watts per tube, with a stage power-gain of 14, can be obtained. At 1000 megacycles an output power of 50 watts per tube is obtained with a power-gain of five." "1L-25947" etched on exterior. 9-pin base. Typical usage for R-F amplifier or audio amplifier. "2C-34749-R" etched on exterior.
