GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
![]() |
The 4CW25,000A is a ceramic/metal power tetrode intended for use in audio or radio frequency applications. It features a new type of internal mechanical structure which results in higher rf operating efficiency. Low rf losses in this mechanical structure permit operation of the 4CW25,000A at full ratings up to 110 MHz, and at reduced ratings, to 225 MHz. The 4CW25,000A is recommended for radio-frequency linear power amplifier service, for television linear amplifier service, and as a switch tube for pulsed regulator service. |
