The R5559 is a low noise triode designed for wideband amplification. The mutual conductance is 25 mA/V and like many low noise valves the anode current is substantial.![](../pics/acn0122a.jpg)
The gold plated base pins - clearly a professional valve.Thanks to Mark Mallison for sending the images.The thin glass tube envelope is mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is mm tall.Reference: Data. |
