CV3581 power triode

Size
This valve measures 360x120mm overall and has a 3 pin base

This is a tungsten filament triode for use as a medium wave oscillator. The equivalent V1501 was used in the MB2 mobile ground radar transmitter.

Filament voltage17.0V
Filament current10.0A
Max anode voltage5kV
Amplification factor *14.0
Anode AC resistance *1200 ohms
Max peak anode current1.0A
Max anode dissipation500W

*: at 500mA anode current and 1kV anode voltage

It is recommended that the valve be mounted vertically and that the anode connection act to steady the valve
