Typical Operation
| Mode | Plate V | Gm (µmhos) | Rp (Ω) | µ | Plate mA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voltage Doubler | 125 V | — | — | — | 100 mA |
| Half-Wave Rectifier | 125 V | — | — | — | 85 mA |
| Half-Wave Rectifier (with series resistor) | 250 V | — | — | — | 85 mA |
Application Notes
On a-c input voltage above 125 volts, it is necessary to connect a 100 ohm resistor in series with each plate lead, or a 100 ohm resistor common to both plates. Sufficient ventilation should be provided to circulate air freely around the tube to prevent overheating.
