A pentode is an electronic ... in the European valve naming scheme for pentodes an even number indicated a sharp-cutoff device while odd indicated remote-cutoff; ...
In electronics, cut-off is a state of negligible conduction that is a property of several types of electronic components when a control parameter (that usually is a well-defined voltage or electric current, but could also be an incident light intensity or a magnetic field), is lowered or increased past a value (the conduction threshold).
The control grid is an electrode used in amplifying thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) such as the triode, tetrode and pentode, used to control the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode (plate) electrode. The control grid usually consists of a cylindrical screen or helix of fine wire surrounding the cathode, and is surrounded in turn by ...
1A4-p – Remote-cutoff pentode; 1A4-t – Remote-cutoff tetrode; 1A6 – Pentagrid converter up to only 10 MHz due to low heater power (2 V/60 mA) and consequent low emission in the oscillator section; also occasionally used as a grid-leak detector; 1B4-p – Sharp-cutoff pentode; 1B4-t – Sharp-cutoff tetrode; 1B5 – Dual detector diode ...
EF50. In the field of electronics, the EF50 is an early all-glass wideband remote cutoff pentode designed in 1938 by Philips.It was a landmark in the development of vacuum tube technology, departing from construction techniques that were largely unchanged from light bulb designs. [1]
EF39/6K7 – Remote-cutoff RF pentode for use as an IF amplifier or as a superheterodyne mixer (1st detector). Also used in test equipment. Also used in test equipment. EF4, EF22 and EF41/6CJ5 with an Octal base with control grid on top-cap
For signal pentodes, an odd numerical identifier most often identified a variable transconductance (remote-cutoff) valve whereas an even number identified a 'high slope' (sharp-cutoff) valve. For power pentodes and triode-pentode combinations, even numbers usually indicate linear (audio power amplifier) devices while odd numbers were more ...
P (Russian: П) – Output pentode or beam tetrode. J (Russian: Ж) – Sharp-cutoff pentode (also transliterated zh, sh or j). K (Russian: К) – Variable-mu / remote-cutoff pentode. R (Russian: Р) – Double pentode or double tetrode. G (Russian: Г) – Combined triode-diode. B (Russian: Б) – Combined diode-pentode.
