RCA-7586, 8393 MEDIUM-MU TRIODES Nuvistor Types RCA Dar Heater For industrial Appl All. Ceromie-ond-Metal Construction ations -1586 and 8393 are medium-mu general - purpose nuvistor triodes, capable of providing high gain with low noise in amplifier service and excellent stability in oscillator applications over @ wide range of frequencies extending into the uh? region. The 7586 and 8393 are identical except for heater ratings and inter- electrode capacitance values. Heater Tatinge for the two types, are! type 7506 = 0.135 ampere at 6.3 volts; type 6993 = 0.060 ampere at 13.5 volts. These types are particularly suitable for use 3n equipment. in shich compactness, the sbility to withstand severe mechanical shock and vibration, and exceptional uniformity of characteristics are primary requirements. The 7586 and 8393 feature all-ceranic-and-metal construction, a cantilever= supported cylindrical electrode structure, and the RCA Dark Heater for long life and dependable performance.
