An early transistor socket and an integrated circuit socket are included for comparison. Tube sockets are electrical sockets into which vacuum tubes (electronic valves) can be plugged, holding them in place and providing terminals, which can be soldered into the circuit, for each of the pins. Sockets are designed to allow tubes to be inserted ...
Later thermionic vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style, some with top cap connections for higher voltages. A vacuum tube, electron tube, [1] [2] [3] [thermionic] valve (British usage), or tube (North America) [4] is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.
This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.
6V6 Octal socket basing diagram. 1 - * Unconnected in all versions except for the shell connection of the metal 6V6 2 & 7 - Filament / Heater 3 - Anode / Plate 4 - Grid 2 / Screen Grid 5 - Grid 1 / Control Grid 6 - No connection. Pin normally absent 8 - Cathode & Beam-Forming Plates. The 6V6 is a beam-power tetrode vacuum tube.
The KT88 fits a standard eight-pin octal socket and has similar pinout and applications as the 6L6 and EL34.Specifically designed for audio amplification, the KT88 has higher plate power and voltage ratings than the American 6550.
The type 955 triode "acorn tube" is a small triode thermionic valve (vacuum tube in USA) designed primarily to operate at high frequency. Although data books specify an upper limit of 400–600 MHz, some circuits may obtain gain up to about 900 MHz.
RCA 6DS4 "Nuvistor" triode vacuum tube, ca. 20 mm high and 11 mm in diameter Nuvistor with U.S. dime for scale. The nuvistor is a type of vacuum tube announced by RCA in 1959. . Nuvistors were made to compete with the then-new bipolar junction transistors, and were much smaller than conventional tubes of the day, almost approaching the compactness of early discrete transistor casi
