Rogers 14Y7 triode oscillator: max operating plate 175 V, no-current plate 550 V, dissipation 0.8 W, cathode current max 6 mA, heater-cathode max 150 V. Typical at Va 100 V, Vg 0 V, plate current 10 mA, gm 0.0028 A/V, mu 22; source inconsistency: 10 mA typical plate current exceeds 6 mA max cathode current. Shared cathode and grid tied internally to hexode g3. Capacitances triode grid-to-plate 1.4 pF, cathode-to-grid 5.6 pF, cathode-to-plate 2.4 pF.

Rogers 14Y7 hexode mixer: max operating anode 250 V, no-current anode 550 V, plate dissipation 1.5 W, screen g2+g4 dissipation 0.3 W, cathode current max 10 mA, heater-cathode max 150 V. Screen max 125 V at plate current 3 mA; 250 V when plate current <1 mA; no-current screen 550 V. No unconditional max_screen_voltage scalar assigned because screen limit depends on operating current. Typical conversion conductance 530/670/750 µmhos at specified 100/170/200 V supply conditions; conversion conductance not promoted to conventional gm. Hexode g1 input C 3.8 pF, plate output C 9.2 pF, grid1-plate max 0.1 pF, grid1-heater max 0.15 pF. Shared cathode with triode; hexode grid3 linked to triode grid.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
