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

TH22C

Triode-hexode frequency changer for superheterodyne receivers. The triode supplies the local oscillator while the hexode performs mixing, with heater characteristics tailored to series-heater designs.

Description

The Mullard TH22C is an indirectly heated triode-hexode frequency changer with a common cathode; its supplied sheet refers to TH4A for the non-heater electrical characteristics.

Section 1

Triode

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Mullard TH22C oscillator triode, part of a common-cathode triode-hexode frequency changer for series-heater receivers. Heater is 22 V, 0.20 A. Mullard references its TH4A frequency changer for electrical characteristics other than heater ratings; unrelated tubes with similar names must not be used as specification sources.

Section 2

Hexode

X-ray radiationInterelectrode capacitances

No fixed ratings are recorded for this section.

Mullard TH22C frequency-converter hexode, with common cathode shared by oscillator triode. Nominal heater 22 V / 0.20 A for AC/DC series service. Original manufacturer sheet states TH22C is identical to Mullard TH4A apart from its heater rating, so unverified values from unrelated similarly named tubes are not promoted.
