Voltage - Triode (with diode, heptode or hexode) ·Hexode-Triode

TH13C

Triode-hexode frequency changer for superheterodyne receivers. The triode supplies local oscillation while the hexode performs mixing, with heater characteristics intended for series-heater equipment.

Description

The Mullard TH13C is an indirectly heated triode-hexode frequency changer with a common cathode; its supplied sheet refers to TH4 for the non-heater electrical characteristics.

Section ratings

2 physical sections, each with unique specifications.

Section 1

Triode

X-ray radiationInterelectrode capacitances

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Mullard TH13C oscillator triode, sharing a common cathode with a hexode mixer, in a 13 V / 0.31 A indirectly heated frequency changer for AC/DC heater supplies. Manufacturer gives 13-second heating time and 75 V maximum heater-to-cathode potential. For non-heater electrical specifications Mullard refers specifically to its frequency changer TH4, not the unrelated Philips TH4 thermocouple.

Section 2

Hexode

X-ray radiationInterelectrode capacitances

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Mullard TH13C frequency-converter hexode with common cathode shared by an oscillator triode. Nominal heater 13 V / 0.31 A and heater-to-cathode maximum 75 V. Mullard states non-heater properties are those of its frequency changer TH4; do not substitute data from the separate Philips TH4 thermocouple.
