Tube cross-reference
DF96 alternatives, equivalents, and replacements
Review exact electrical variations and directional substitutions recorded for the DF96 voltage pentode - remote cutoff (single). Compare core specifications and verify every restriction before using a replacement.
Exact variations of DF96
These designations belong to the same electrical variation group. Their names may differ because of international standards, manufacturing tolerances, or materials, but they are recorded as electrically equivalent—not merely substitutes.
Replacement tubes for DF96
The following tubes are recorded as possible replacements for DF96. This direction does not establish that DF96 can replace them.
Voltage Pentode or Tetrode (under 100V)
The database records 1AJ4 as a possible replacement forDF96.
No special restrictions are recorded for this substitution.

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.
