Voltage Drop (typical)Tube Voltage Drop (at 250 mA DC)32V
Notes
Short intermediate-shell 5-pin Octal base (B5-85), basing diagram JEDEC 4CG, outline drawing JEDEC 9-41. T-9 glass envelope.
Socket terminals 1, 2, 4, and 6 shall not be used as tie points.
PIV rating of 5500V applies for a 525-line, 30-frame TV system where the duty cycle of the voltage pulse does not exceed 15% of one scanning cycle (10 µs).
Maximum peak heater-cathode voltage: 5500V (heater negative total DC+peak, DC component max 900V) / 300V (heater positive total DC+peak, DC component max 100V).
Operation of this tube as a power rectifier is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Highest PIV rating (5500V) among the JEDEC 4CG family of Octal damper diodes (6AX4=4400V, 6DA4=4400V, 6DM4=5000V).
