Description

The Svetlana™ 4CW10,000A/8661 is a liquid cooled ceramic meatal tetrode designed for audio and radio frequency applications. It is particularly well-suited for modulator and linear amplifier use. The Svetlana 4CW10,000A/8661 has a directly-heated thoriated tungsten mesh filament for mechanical ruggedness. This modern mesh filament design is superior to the old hairpin design of the 1950's. In some applications, the input circuit may need minor tuning to use the Svetlana 4CW10,000A/8661 as a replacement because of the low inductance of the Svetlana mesh filament. The Svetlana 4CW10,000A/8661 is manufactured in the Svetlana factory in St. Petersburg, Russia, and is designed to be a direct replacement for the 4CW10,000A/8661 manufactured in the United States, England and elsewhere.
