Where 6K5G can be used as the replacement
In these recorded relationships, 6K5G is the replacement tube. The listed original tubes are not automatically suitable as replacements for 6K5G.
Voltage - Triode (single)
The database records 6K5G as a possible replacement for6K5GT.
No special restrictions are recorded for this substitution.
| Specification | 6K5G replacement | Original tube |
|---|---|---|
| Tube type | Voltage - Triode (single) | Voltage - Triode (single) |
| Construction | Triode | Triode |
| Base | 5U | 5U |
| Socket | IO | Not recorded |
| Base pins | 7 | 5 |
| Sections | 1 | 1 |
| Heater voltage | 6.3 V | 6.3 V |
| Heater current | 0.3 A | 0.3 A |
Verify before substituting
Matching a base or heater voltage is not enough to prove that two tubes are interchangeable. Check pin connections, heater current, maximum ratings, bias requirements, warm-up behavior, and the equipment manufacturer’s service documentation before making a substitution.
