Power - Triode ·Triode-Triode

ECC230

Dual high-current power triode intended for low-voltage regulator and series-pass service, equivalent in application to the 6080 family. Manufacturer guidance emphasizes automatic bias and protection against excessive anode current.

Terminal pinout

Electrical assignments shared by every tube using this base designation.

No verified pinout is recorded for this base designation.

Section ratings

2 physical sections, each with unique specifications.

Section 1

Triode

X-ray radiationInterelectrode capacitances

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Identical repeated triode sections compressed. Supplied sheet gives no numeric data; it cross-references type 6080.

Section 2

Triode

X-ray radiationInterelectrode capacitances

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Second physical triode section; added to align double-triode structure with SectionCount=2. Promoted electrical values left unset because supplied ECC230 sheet refers data to 6080.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
