Description

The 7502 is a seven pin all glass construction heptode for use as a frequency changer up to 60 Mc/s. The use of a special rugred electrods construction manufactured by means of semi-automatic assembly techinicues contributes to a low catastrophic failure rate. The cathode sleeve is made of a special alloy to inhibit the growth of cathode interface resistance during long periods of operation under cut-off conditions and the pure tungsten heater has been designed to withstand frequent heater switching {sec note) In addition the heater-cathode construction and materials ensure very low levels of leaskage throughout life, The gless base and envelope strain pneatterns are tightly
