The 0A2 or OA2 is a cold cathode voltage stabiliser. The mean voltage stabilised is 150 Volts. Between the 5 mA minimum current and 30 mA maximum current the voltage regulation is 6 Volts. The striking voltage is 185 Volts.

The KB/F identifies this valve as being made to specification K1001 or K1006, the B denotes qualification by a UK authority and the F identifies the maker as STC, Paignton.

The reverse carries the Type designation of CV1832 and the code KB/F.

The thin glass tube envelope is 18 mm in diameter, and excluding the B7G base pins, is 56 mm tall.
