Published ratings and characteristics promoted where directly established; additional values retained as parameters. Telefunken LD7 forced-air-cooled metal-ceramic decimetric-wave transmitting triode for self-excited and driven transmitters. Maximum DC anode voltage 2500 V in continuous Class B service, reduced to 1500 V for anode modulation; much higher anode pulse voltages are conditional and must not replace continuous limit. Maximum grid dissipation 3 W. Transconductance published as 18–28 mA/V at 1300 V and 150–170 mA; plate dissipation depends on cooling, with 300 W used as a documented cooling/operating example rather than an unrestricted universal limit. Nominal indirect heating 12.6 V / about 2.1 A.

Operating conditions by source

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