GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
![]() |
The 4-125A / 4D21 / 6155 / QB3/300GA / RS 1007 is a radial-beam power tetrode for use as an amplifier, oscillator, or modulator. It has a maximum plate-dissipation rating of 125 watts and a maximum plate-voltage rating of 3000 volts at frequencies up to 120 MHz. The low grid-plate capacitance of this tetrode together with its low driving-power requirement allows considerable simplification of the associated circuit and driver stage. Cooling is by radiation from the plate and by air circulation through the base and around the envelope. The 4-125A / 4D21 / 6155 / QB3/300GA / RS 1007 in class-C rf service will deliver up to 375 watts plate power output with 1.2 watts nominal driving power. |
