Notes
Base is Medium 4-Pin Bayonet (RCA Socket UT-542-A, Stock No. 9937). Not interchangeable with standard UX4 or Jumbo 4-pin bayonet bases.
The plate connects via a medium metal top cap, not through the base pins. Base pins 1 and 4 are filament; pins 2 and 3 are no connection.
Filament voltage should not deviate more than +/-5% from the rated 2.5V value.
Surge current rating of 2.5A max must not be exceeded during switching operations.
Mounting position: vertical (base down) or horizontal (plate in vertical plane, on edge).
