Notes

Electrically identical to the 6J5 except for 12.6V/0.15A heater (vs 6.3V/0.3A). Identical to one section of the 6SN7 twin triode.
Pin 1 is the metal shell (internal shield) connection; it should be grounded (connected to cathode per GE datasheet).
The d-c resistance in the grid circuit under maximum rated conditions should not exceed 1.0 megohm.
Base designation 6Q (Octal 6-pin, RMA 8-1). MT-8 metal shell envelope, small wafer Octal 8-pin base.
