6X5GT

6X5GT is also designated EZ35.

Description

The 6X5GT is a cathode-type rectifier tube with a glass T-9D bulb and a small octal base. It is designed particularly for use in automobile receivers and may be used interchangeably with the Hytron 6X5G glass tube.

Ratings

The heater is rated at 6.3 volts AC or DC and 0.6 ampere. In automotive service from a 6-volt battery source, the permissible heater voltage range is 5.0 to 8.0 volts. On a design-maximum basis, the heater voltage tolerance is ±10% at 6.3 volts.

Maximum ratings include a DC voltage between heater and cathode of 500 volts, and a DC heater-cathode voltage of 450 volts with the heater negative with respect to the cathode (on both design-center and design-maximum bases). The maximum peak inverse plate voltage is 1250 volts. The maximum transient peak plate current per plate is 1.1 amperes. Maximum steady-state peak plate current per plate is 210 mA on a design-center basis and 245 mA on a design-maximum basis. The maximum DC output current is 1.1 amperes.

For AC plate voltage per plate (RMS), the maximum is 325 volts for capacitor input on a design-center basis, and 450 volts for choke input vibrator operation with a minimum duty cycle of 75% on a design-center basis. Maximum AC plate voltage and maximum load current are also stated in RMA release #134, dated April 11, 1938.

Equivalence is asserted only where the archive's own literature states it directly, in at least 40 separate documents. Tubes that merely substitute in some circuits are not listed here.
