6094
6094 has no equivalent designation confirmed by the archive.
The 6094 is a reliable hard glass miniature beam power amplifier, designed for use in equipment with high ambient temperatures and where high levels of vibration, shock, and other accelerations are encountered.
## Construction
The 6094 uses a hard glass (nonex) bulb and stem with nickel pins, which are gold plated. It features a 9-pin miniature nonex glass base with gold plated pins and a nonex glass T6½ bulb. Pressed ceramic spacers, instead of micas, are used for element separation. The maximum overall length is 3 inches, the maximum seated height is 2¾ inches, and the maximum diameter is 7/8 inch.
## Ratings
The 6094 can operate up to bulb temperatures of 300°C. The maximum altitude rating is 80,000 feet. The maximum impact shock rating is 500 G, and the maximum vibrational acceleration rating is 50 G. The life expectancy is 10,000 hours.
The heater voltage is 6.3 volts, with a heater current of 0.6 amps. The cathode warm-up time is 45 seconds. The maximum DC plate voltage is 300 volts, and the maximum DC screen voltage is 275 volts. The maximum instantaneous peak plate voltage is 550 volts. The absolute maximum plate dissipation is 14.0 watts, and the absolute maximum screen dissipation is 2.0 watts. The maximum instantaneous peak cathode current is 100.0 mA. The maximum heater-cathode voltage is ±450 volts. The maximum grid resistance is 0.1 megohm. The maximum grid voltage is +5.0 volts, and the minimum grid voltage is -200.0 volts.
## Characteristics
The plate resistance of the 6094 is 32,000 ohms. The transconductance is 4100 µmhos, given as a design center value.
## Manufacturer
The 6094 is one of the Bendix Red Bank line of reliable vacuum tubes, with the Bendix Red Bank division located in Eatontown, New Jersey.
