GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
![]() |
The 8295A / PL-172 is a ceramic/metal, forced-air cooled, radial beam pentode with a rated maximum plate dissipation of 1000 watts. It is capable of high power gain and excellent efficiency at relatively low plate voltage. The 8295A is a direct replacement for the 8295. Ths external-anode tube is especially suited for Class AB1 linear rf amplifier service, but will also provide excellent perfomance in Class AB2, Class B, and Class C service. |
