Tube mounting

Axis vertical, anode up or down.

The tube has to be connected by means of header sockets, in which the terminal anodes for cathode, control grid, and screen grid contacts are combined to a unit and provided with spring-finger contacts.

Maximum tube surface temperature

The maximum temperature of the metal-ceramic seals must not exceed 220 °C at any point and the temperature of the internal cathode terminal must not exceed 250 °C. These requirements can be met without additional cooling, if an appropriate air duct and sufficient space between the individual contact springs is provided so that enough cooling air can pass through.

Forced-air cooling

The minimum air flow rate required for the maximum anode dissipation is given in the cooling air diagram, valid for 25 °C inlet temperature at a normail air pressure of 1 bar (sea level). The cooling air is supplied from the electrode terminal side.
