Description

The ML-XRT-1 is a high-vacuum rectifier having a max- ated-tungsten filament. The anode is a pure tantalum cyl- imum inverse voltage rating of 165 PKV when insulated inder. Tube construction insures long life, low internal volt- with oil. The tube may be operated with peak anode currents age drop, high average-load-current capacity and an adequare as high as 1.00 ampere. The cathode is 2 low-warttage thori- safety facror against accidental overload.
