Tesla 2NE9 directly heated oxide-cathode electrometric tetrode for precision low-current measurements, filament nominal 1.2 V, 29 mA. Original 1959 Tesla datasheet specifies maximum plate voltage 10 V (corrected from 12 V), filament voltage operating range 1.1โ€“1.3 V, and a special top-exit control-grid connection for increased insulation resistance. Envelope coated with silicone to reduce surface leakage; handle only with clean gloves. Typical/characteristic anode and grid values are not unrestricted maximums. Modified S7/10 wire-base arrangement reported.
