6ALS 3AL5 6AL5—3AL5—12AL5 taALs Eta TWIN DIODE DESCRIPTION AND RATING ‘The GALS is a miniature high-perveance twin diode in which separate cathodes are provided for the two sections, The 6ALS is suited for a wide variety of applications which include service as a detector in FM and tele- vision circuits, automatic-gain-control rectifier, or a low-current power BASING DIAGRAM rectifier. Each diode can be used independently of the other or combined @ in parallel or full-wave arrangements, The resonant frequency of each section g S of the 6ALS is approximately 700 megacycles. ‘The 3ALS, GALS and 12ALS are alike except for heater ratings and heater- =e cathode voltage ratings. In addition, the 3ALS, as a result of its controlled Ad heater warm-up characteristic, is suited for use in television receivers which employ series-connected heaters. When the 3AL5 is used in conjunction with | 0 other 600-milliampere types which exhibit essentially the same heater warm-up characteristic, heater voltage surges across the individual tubes are minimized during the warm-up period.
