Typical Operation

ModePlate VGm (µmhos)Rp (Ω)µPlate mA
As leaky grid detector (HT 120V, 50k Load)45 V———1.5 mA
As leaky grid detector (HT 120V, 0.25M Load)45 V———0.3 mA
As leaky grid detector (HT 150V, 50k Load)65 V———

Application Notes

When used as a detector the grid leak should be returned to filament positive and the screen should be decoupled with 0.5uF. Other uses for the valve are as L.F. amplifier, as oscillator and as H.F. amplifier.
