Description

two cathodes and two anodes brought out to separate prongs. Designed primarily for dual sound track systems, it is also ideal wherever dual tube operation is required and space is Anode Voltage, Peak................... 90V S00V Luminous Sensitivity (ea. Cathode). .. .. 175uA/LDC 37uA/LDC This variant uses the S1 cathode surface described by the family datasheet. The non-V variant has published gas amplification in the family table.
