GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
![]() |
The 4-65A / 8165 / QB3/200 is a small radial-beam tetrode with a maximum plate-dissipation rating of 65 watts. In most applications, no forced air is required, normal radiation and convection cooling being adequate. An instant-heating, thoriated tungsten filament is employed, allowing all electrode voltages to be applied simultaneously and permitting the conservation of power during standby periods. The 4-65A / 8165 / QB3/200 is, therefore, a good choice for many mobile applications. Short, heavy leads and low interelectrode capacities assure stable, efficient operation at high frequencies and permit its use at maximum ratings through 150 megacycles. The 4-65A / 8165 / QB3/200 is equally useful in audio-amplifier or modulator service. |
