6080/CV2984 Cathode-Follower Output Valve

Description

The 6080/CV2984 Cathode-Follower Output Valve is engineered for high-performance control applications and series pass stabilizer roles. This valve is built to handle tough operating conditions, often running very hot, and is designed to maintain reliability even towards the end of its life.

• Exceptional Low Ra Value: The valve’s low Ra value of 285 ohms per half allows it to deliver 250 mA with less than a 50 V anode-cathode drop, ensuring efficient performance.
• Parallel Operation: Typically, both halves of the valve are operated in parallel, delivering a controlled output of up to 125 mA per half.
• Special Construction: The valve features a unique construction with a flat cathode, flat control grid wound between notched rods, and an anode split into two flat-bottomed ‘U’ sections, one on either side of the cathode. This design helps prevent grid emission even when the grid is coated with evaporated cathode material.
• Durable and Reliable: Designed to withstand high temperatures and tough operating conditions, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications.
• Wide Glass Tube: The valve’s wide glass tube envelope measures 36 mm in diameter and 89 mm in height, which is taller than many other versions of this valve.

Why Choose the 6080/CV2984 Cathode-Follower Output Valve?

• High Efficiency: Low Ra value enables efficient performance with a high output-to-voltage drop ratio.
• Robust Construction: Special design ensures durability and reliability even under high temperatures and tough conditions.
