Voltage Radio Detector Converter ·Heptode

41MPG

Cossor heptode frequency changer for superheterodyne radio receivers. Its multi-grid construction combines local-oscillator and mixer functions, converting incoming RF signals to the receiver intermediate frequency in a single valve.

Cossor 41 M.P.G. indirectly heated 4 V 1 A variable-mu pentagrid (heptode) frequency changer for superheterodyne receivers, with integral local oscillator and mixer. Published maximum modulator-anode voltage 250 V, modulator-screen voltage 100 V, and oscillator-anode voltage 100 V. Recommended modulator-grid bias is negative and varies with gain-control setting. Oscillator coupling is internal, reducing harmonic-related whistles. Mixer conversion conductance is an application-dependent characteristic and must not be substituted for intrinsic transconductance. Manufacturer 1936 technical data and characteristic curves.

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.
