Voltage Pentode - Sharp Cutoff (single) ·Pentode

12J1L

Russian universal pentode designed to withstand demanding ambient conditions. Bilingual manufacturer literature provides guaranteed electrical characteristics, but the available application wording is not specific enough to assign a narrower functional family conservatively.
