Classification
Dome-type or Aubergine-type bulb of glass, a white ceramic base with four-prong bayonet golden pins, oxide coated filamentary, solid plate or mesh or carbon plate triode.
Application
Audio frequency amplifier where power outputs of approximately 8.5watts or less is required at relatively low plate voltages.
Dimensions
Dimensions, outline diagrams of the tube and bases, and the arrangement of electrode connections to the base terminals are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Nominal operating conditions and parameters
Filament voltage* : 5V or 2.5V
Nominal filament current : 1.2A or 2.4A
Plate voltage : 300V
Grid voltage** : -58V
Plate current : 60mA
Amplification factor : 3.85
Grid to plate transconductance : 5.7mA / V
Grid current : 0.05 μ A

*Alternating-current filament supply or Direct-current filament supply.
**Alternating-current filament supply is used. The grid and plate returns should be connected to a center tap on the secondary of the filament transformer. Direct-current filament supply is used. The grid and platter returns are connected to the negative end of the filament.
