Description

The Ken-Rad 12J5GT 1s a cathode type general purpose amplifier triode designed for use in resistance coupled smplifiers or in super-heterodyne circuits as an oscillator. The high mutual conductance and low output capacitence make the tube especlally suited for high frequency oscillator service. The 12J50T 1s a glass tube equipped with a small octel base. The electrical characteristics of this type are identicel to those of type 6J5GT except for heater requirements.
