The EY51 is a high voltage rectifier for use in television and similar EHT circuits. The cathode is cylindrical and placed within the bell of the anode cavity.
The valve is designed for pulsed operation. The anode PIV is 17 kV and the rectified current has a maximum average value of 350 µA and a peak value of 80 mA. The reservoir capacitor can take a maximum value of 5,000 pF.
This is an unused device and looks much better than the EY51 that has seen service inside the hostile environment of an EHT enclosure.
The cathode is supported from the top by the support seen above the cathode in this image. The insulated heater is a single hairpin.
The thin glass tube envelope is 14 mm in diameter and, excluding the base wires is 54 mm tip to tip.
