TUBE 4-400A / 8438 / QB4/1100GA / RS 1002 A

GENERAL DESCRIPTION


photo 4-400A The 4-400A / QB4/1100GA / RS 1002 A is intended for use as amplifier, oscillator or modulator. The low grid-plate capacitance of this tetrode couples with the low driving power requirement allow considerable simplification of the associated circuit and driver stage.
The 4-400A / QB4/1100GA / RS 1002 A is cooled by radiation from the plate and by circulation of forced-air through the base, around the envelope, and over the plate seal. Cooling can be greatly simplified by using an SK-410 Air-System Socket and its accompanying glass chimney.
