TUBE 5762 / 7C24

GENERAL DESCRIPTION


photo 7C24 The 7C24 is a VHF power triode introduced in 1946 by RCA. It was intended for FM and TV transmitters at frequencies up to 110 MHz. Integral copper-finned radiator for forced-air cooling. Thoriated-tungsten filament, center-tapped and terminated to flying ribbon leads for low inductance. Flanged-ring grid for grounded-grid operation.

The 5762, also known in Europe at TY6-5000D, was an improved version, with more efficient radiator and operating frequency raised up to 215 MHz, that superseded the 7C24 since November 1948.
