Description

This midget end view tube was designed for applications where space limitation is the controlling factor. Especially adaptable to extremely small electronic control devices. Idedal in use of multiple phototube banks for controlling the moving This miniature tube fits perfectly with the compact designs of Anode Voltage, Peak 0V 500V This variant uses the S1 cathode surface described by the family datasheet. The non-V variant has published gas amplification in the family table.
