Description

One of the Bendix line of \i';[;"%‘i‘ tubes, this high- perveance beam power amplifier has been designed as « direct retrofit for the 6AR6 or 6098 in aircraft, military and industrial applications where freedom from early failures, long average service life and uniform operating characteristics are extremely important. Each tube is given a 45-hour run-in under overload, vibration and shock conditions. This run-in serves to reduce early failures by eliminating tubes with any minor defects that might lead to failure under operating conditions. Since this tube is designed for use in equipment with high ambient temperatures and where high levels of vibration and shock are encountered, special materials and techniques are employed. The hard glass bulb and tungsten stem seal construction are features similar to those found on many high-powered transmitting tubes. Careful exhaust to a high degree of vacuum, with thorough outgassing of all elements by means of electron bombard- ment, as well as the usual RF induction heating, insures
