@ FILE COPY DO NOT REMOVE 6197 POWER PENTODE For "On-Off" Control Applications Involving Long Periods of Operation Under Cutoff Conditions TENTATIVE OAT RCA-6197 Is 2 sharp-cutoft poner pentode of the S=pin miniature type having very high trans- conductance (1000 micromhos!. It is especially designed for frequency-divider and pulse amplifier cireuits in electronic computers, and other Non-oft" control applications requiring long periods of oper— ation under cutoff conditions. In such contre! son 6197 maintains capabilities even after long periods of operation under cut~ off conditions, and will supsly a high mininun value of plate current during ite "on" periods. In addition, consistency of cut off dias Is maintained because of the stable cutoff characteristic of the tube aswell as its freedom trom grid-No.1 emission. the its emiesion detuat size Featured in the design of the 6197 are the use of radiating fins on grid No.2 to Increase its Giselpation capabilities, a getter shield to minimize interelectrode leakage, and a pure: tungsten heater to give long life under con ditions of frequent Mon-oft" switching. Furthermore, the use of production controls correlated with typical electronic computer conditions, and rigorous tests for shorts and teakage, insure tong and dependable performance from the 6197, GENERAL DATA Electrical: beater, pure Tungsten, tor Unipotentiar catnase: vortage (Ac oF Oc) « 6.3458 voits current at #3 volts ots mp Pree goprane wlGy no eternal ah ta) Grid tet to Plate sete ees wut Grio Welt to cathode andventer . ) ] at Plate to cathode and i oat ‘TUBE DEPARTMENT {U0 COMOLATION OF AVELCA, HARON, NEW JS ties, Clase Ay Amp? fier fer voltage ves 6.3 volte Plate voitages | 0 2) no Voie Grid wrens ss te catnode at socket Grisewos? vortages | ll ler ees 180 wolts Grigcnect voltages vv ltt ts dette Plate current 3° me Griscwen2 Curcent. | , an Moxinun Plate 00 pang Wechant Mounting Position. « + Yortleats yortzontat operation Permittee lat verdtea’ pt Lengths engin trom ease seat 10 au fon (excusing Ci) "2" 49/3 Necimun Diameter cov es : oe LLL” baartoguiccn‘novan‘otvin’ (ieted aoe FREQUENCY DIVIDER 1H COMPUTER SERVICE and "ON-OFF" CONTROL SERVICE waxinuw Ratings, Adsoture Falwess Plate vourase. .- « 7 Gaicrne.s (surPaessoa) velrace ss. 8 volts Geio-wo.2 (scREeN) voLtaGe «1 | 750 max. volls eitcwo.1 (conTROL- To caTwooe Fig.g— Average Plate Characteristics of Tybe 6197 Connected os Friode. wipitity oy fea tor Teeuse ‘and’ without prejudice to eeavs patent rights,
