Voltage Radio Detector Converter ·Pentode
Dual-control miniature pentode designed for FM sound-detector service in color and monochrome television receivers. Two independent control grids provide separate influence over plate current for specialized detection.
Miniature type used as sound-detector tube in FM and color and black-and-white television receivers. Tube has two independent control grids. Outlines section, 5C; requires miniature 7-contact socket. Type 5HZ6 is identical with type 6HZ6 except for heater ratings.
