Description

The EIMAC YU-191A is a ceramic/metal, water-cooled, high-mu triode intended for use as an amplifier, oscillator or modulator, or in voltage-regulator applications. Its maximum rated anode dissipation is 7000 watts. Zero-grid-bias operation can simplify circuitry, and grounded-grid operation can provide power gain exceeding 20 times.
