Description

The 9AH9 is a Compactron containing a medium-mu triode and a sharp-cutoff frame-grid pentode; the pentode is intended primarily for video amplifier service and the triode for color blanker or general-purpose use in color television receivers. Except for heater characteristics and ratings, it is identical to the 6AH9.
