Katsnelson/Larionov 1981 p79 original Russian 2С3А directly heated radiosonde triode. Nominal at filament 2.4 V, anode 65 V, grid -2 V: Ia 10.5±2.5 mA, mu 7.5±1.5, gm 0.0027 A/V (+0.0008/-0.0009). Former stored gm 0.0015 A/V is minimum acceptance at filament 2.0 V, not nominal. Reverse grid current <=0.5 µA, grid electron current <=0.5 mA at grid +2 V, grid-plate and grid-cathode insulation >=25 MΩ. Input capacitance 1.6±0.2 pF, output 3.1±0.45 pF, transfer 3.0 (+0.3/-0.7) pF. No specified maximum plate voltage or rp. Filament 2.4 V 122 mA, tolerance 110–135 mA.
