CV386 pentode
 |
This valve measures 28x9mm overall and has a 5 leads fitted on an 8-lead base * |
*: The EVS datasheet for this valve shows three possible constructions - the 'wafer base' as this example has, a tubular construction with a flat pinch with 5 leads inline, and a US type rectangular section bulb, again with 5 leads inline.

| Lead | Function |
| 1 | no lead |
| 2 | Control grid |
| 3 | no lead |
| 4 | Filament -ve and suppressor grid |
| 5 | Filament +ve |
| 6 | no lead |
| 7 | Anode |
| 8 | Screen grid |
The above table shows the leads for the wafer base type construction. Other construction styles have the 5 leads arranged as filament -ve + suppressor grid, control grid, filament +ve, screen grid, and anode, the anode lead being marked with a red dot.
