First introduced by its manufacturer in 1942, the original Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket set is ideal for anyone needing replacement parts for their classic radio, television, or other electronics. This item is also perfect for vintage electronics buffs and memorabilia collectors who want to expand and add to their current collection. The Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube is a physically small amplifier pentode with its electrode assembly measuring no more than 10mm. This type of device was used in low-noise radio frequency (RF) amplification at a very high frequency (VHF). Western Electric is a trusted brand with high-quality, long-lasting products, and the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket is no exception. Within the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube’s box-shaped anode, its grid structure is visible. The control grid is made of very fine wire and sits close to the cathode. This unit’s screen grid is a closely wound helix with a less than 0.5mm pitch, while its suppressor grid is a gentle helix spaced at some distance from the second grid. The Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket set has a thin glass tube envelope that is 18mm in diameter, and without its B7G base, it is 35mm tall. Vacuum tubes, also known as valves, are devices that control electric current between electrodes housed in an evacuated container. Most vacuum tubes feature a glass envelope, but metal and ceramic versions have also been developed. Vacuum tubes such as the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket mostly rely on the thermionic emission of electrons from a heater, or filament, or a filament-heated cathode. This type of tube is called a thermionic valve or thermionic tube. Tubes like the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket are differentiated by a number of classifications, including frequency range; audio, VHF, UHF, microwave, and by power rating; audio power; small-signal; and high power radio transmitting. Closely related to the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket, the EF95 is designed to work at VHF and is a low-noise RF voltage amplifying pentode. At the time the EF95 tube was introduced by Mullard in 1952, it was designed as a direct equivalent to the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket. If you have electrical components that require the EF95 tube, safely switch these out with the Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket. The Western Electric 6AK5 vintage tube and tube socket set delivers powerful, clean audio output with a warm sound, making it ideal for classic audio devices such as ham radios, amplifiers, preamps, radios, and televisions.
