The EZ80 full wave rectifier was found in many broadcast receivers and domestic audio equipment.
Suited to the task, at 90 mA maximum current and with a required series resistance of 300 ohms to reduce the initial surge in charging the maximum 50 µF reservoir capacitor, each anode would conduct in turn when connected to either end of a grounded centre tapped mains transformer.
The EZ81 is pin compatible but rated at 160 mA.
The anodes are mounted vertically and at right angles over a common cathode. The anodes are identical but one is mounted upside down so they both fir the cathode.
The anodes form a cross to give maximum area for heat dissipation.
The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is 59 mm tall.
