The DE5 is a dull emitter triode designed to be used as an audio output valve to drive small loud speakers.
The DE5 was introduced in late 1924 and carries the BBC stamp of that period. In 1925 M-OV released the DE5A. This had a lower impedance and therefore could deliver a greater output power.
The structure of the grid can be seen in the photograph above.
