Description

This full-wave, high-vacuum rectifier is one of the Bendix Red Bank line of reliable vacuum tubes specifically de- signed for aircraft, military and industrial applications where freedom from early failures, long service life, and uniform operating characteristics are extremely important. Each tube is given a 45-hour run-in under various over- load, vibration, and shock conditions likely to be en- countered in service. lhis run-in serves to reduce early failures by eliminating tubes with any minor defects that might lead to failure under actual operating conditions. Heavy gauge heater construction together with a pure alumina insulator reduces the likelihood of heater failure. A large area cathode operating at moderate temperatures gives longer service life and freedom from arc-overs. An eight-pillar mount structure and the button-type stem pro- vide a strong assembly that will stand up under extreme conditions of vibration and shock. The tube requires an 8-pin octal socket and can be mounted in any position.
