Description |
Beam-power-tetrode, launched spring 1936 by RCA. Predecessors: none / Successors: none, still in production. By demand of more output power new output tubes appeared in 1936 with plate dissipation increased from 9 to 18 watts. In Europe it were the pentodes AL5 (4Vf) and EL5 (6.3Vf), in the USA it was the worlds first and most famous beam-power-tetrode, the 6L6. First it appeared as metal tube, then in several glass versions, e.g. as 6L6GC with 35 watts dissipation.

La limite pour ce tube en P.P. classe AB1 de 400v anodiques et 300v écran n'est pas donnée par tous les constructeurs ; nous ne connaissons que RCA et STC qui la mentionnent. Ce sont semble-t-il les seuls constructeurs qui font la différence entre les limites pour la classe A et celles pour la classe AB qui sollicite un peu moins le tube.
