| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
![]() |
The 1613 is a transmitting pentode of the metal type having a maximum plate dissipation of 10 watts. The tube is specially tested for transmitter service to insure long, reliable operation. The 1613 is designed with a heater cathode having a rating of 6.3 volts and 0.7 ampere. Operation of the tube with maximum ratings is practical at frequencies as high as 45 Mc. - at reduced ratings as high as 90 Mc. Typical CCS operating conditions for class C telegraph service are: D-c plate voltage, 350 volts; d-c screen voltage, 200 volts; grid bias, -35 volts; d-c plate current, 50 ma.; d-c screen current, 10 ma.; d-c grid current, approximate, 3.5 ma.; driving power, approximate, 0.22 watt; and power output, approximate, 9 watts. |
