5654 SHARP-CUTOFF PENTODE "PREMIUM" TUBE For RF and IF Broad-Bané Appl ications TENTATIVE DATA RCA-5654 is a "premium" version of the sharp- cutoff pentode GAKS. It is designed for use as an rf or If amplifier in high- frequency broad=band circuits of mobile and aircraft communications receivers and is especially con- structed to give dependable per- formance under shock and vibration. This tube features a grid~ Nos} electrode treated tominimize grid emission, a pure-tungsten heater to give longer life under conditions of on-off switching, and a compact design in which special attention has been given to structural details which provide increased mount strength against shock and against vi- In addition each tube is subjected to bration. rigid controls and rigorous tests during manu- facture to insure "premium" quality. Like the 6AK5, the 5654 has high trans- conductance, low interelectrode capacitances, high input resistance, and high signal-to-noise ratio ~-features contributing to the suitability of this tube for rf and If applications.
