RMA 3FP7 electrostatic-focus/deflection CRT, P7 phosphor. Max supplementary anode3 voltage 4400 V (promoted high-voltage maximum), anode2 max 2200 V, anode1 focus max 1100 V; grid never positive, anode2-to-deflection electrode peak max 550 V, heater-negative-to-cathode DC max 125 V, grid resistance max 1.5 MΩ, deflection-electrode circuit impedance max 1 MΩ. Typical (Va3/Va2/Va1) 2000/2000/575 V, 3000/1500/430 V, 4000/2000/575 V; cutoff -60/-45/-50 V; DJ1/2 sensitivities 0.115/0.115/0.086 mm/V, DJ3/4 0.155/0.156/0.117 mm/V. Capacitances grid-all 3 pF, cathode-all 7 pF, DJ1-DJ2 2 pF, DJ3-DJ4 2 pF, DJ1-all ~9 pF (source scan ambiguous), DJ3-all 7 pF, DJ1 excluding DJ2 7 pF, DJ2 excluding DJ1 7 pF, DJ3 excluding DJ4 5 pF, DJ4 excluding DJ3 6 pF. Side snap cap for anode3. Recommend Va3 >=3000 V for high-velocity scanning.

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.

No source-specific operating conditions are recorded.
