The PCF802 was designed as the first stages in television line frequency generation prior to the line output stage. The pentode is described by Mullard as the oscillator while the triode is for service as a reactance valve. This suggests the triode acting as a frequency controlling stage.

The pentode is mounted with the grid axis at right angles to the triode.
The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is 46 mm tall.
