The 4CX25,000A is a ceramic/metal power tet- Characteristics
rode intended for use in VHF-TV linear amplifier Plate Dissipation (Max.) 25,000 Watts
service. It features a type of internal mechani- Screen Dissipation (Max.) 300 Watts
cal structure which results in high RF operating Grid Dissipation (Max.) 180 Watts
efficiency. Low RF losses in this structure permit Frequency for Max. rating (CW) 230 MHz
operation at full range to 230 MHz in TV linear Amplification Factor 6.7
amplifier service. The anode is rated for 25 kW Filament/Cathode Thoriated Tungsten
dissipation with forced- air cooling and uses a Voltage 8.5 Volts
highly efficient cooler, which significantly reduces Current 150 Amps
air pressure and flow requirements and produces
