Published Telefunken ratings and characteristics promoted from the supplied source. Telefunken ECC8100 triode system I, internally screened between anode and grid for cascode, wideband amplifier and oscillator operation. Typical gm 16 mA/V, μ 30; plate resistance 1875 Ω calculated as μ/gm, not an independent measurement. Per-system maximum anode 250 V, plate dissipation 2.5 W, cathode current 40 mA. System I heater-to-cathode maximum 50 V; capacitances published.

Second physical triode restored. Telefunken ECC8100 triode system II; electrically distinct from internally screened system I. Typical gm 20 mA/V, μ 30; plate resistance 1500 Ω calculated as μ/gm, not an independent measurement. Per-system maximum anode 250 V, plate dissipation 2.5 W, cathode current 40 mA. System II heater-to-cathode maximum 120 V; capacitances published.

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.
