Description

The 7498 is a seven pin all glass constructicn pentode for use in The use of » special rugzed electrode construction manufactured by neans of seni-automatic assenbly techniques contributes to a low catastrophic foilure rate, The cathode slceve is made of a special allcy to inhibit the growth of cathole interface rcsistance during long pericds of operation under cut=ofT conditiona and the purc tungsten heater has been designed to withstend frequent heater switching (sce note), In addition the heater— cathode construction and materials ensure very low levels of lealiage The glass base and envelope strain patterns are tightly controlled during nanufacture to prevent ¢lass failures durdng life.
