Tube cross-reference
1R5WA alternatives, equivalents, and replacements
Review exact electrical variations and directional substitutions recorded for the 1R5WA voltage radio detector converter. Compare core specifications and verify every restriction before using a replacement.
Where 1R5WA can be used as the replacement
In these recorded relationships, 1R5WA is the replacement tube. The listed original tubes are not automatically suitable as replacements for 1R5WA.
Voltage Pentode or Tetrode (under 100V)
The database records 1R5WA as a possible replacement for1R5.
No special restrictions are recorded for this substitution.

| Heater current | 0.05 A | 0.05 A |
Verify before substituting
Matching a base or heater voltage is not enough to prove that two tubes are interchangeable. Check pin connections, heater current, maximum ratings, bias requirements, warm-up behavior, and the equipment manufacturer’s service documentation before making a substitution.
