Voltage Pentode - High Frequency (single) ·Pentode

5AI28B

RF pentode documented by Standard Valves for high-frequency signal amplification. Its manufacturer classification establishes radio-frequency amplifier service rather than power output, although the surviving description does not justify a narrower cutoff classification.
