6V6 / 6V6GTA / 12V6GT
BEAM POWER TUBE

[Brochage 7AC vue dessous: G2(4), G1(5), P(3), H(2), H(7), S:6V6 / NC:6V6GTA (1), K G3(8)]

Metal type 6V6 and glass octal type 6V6GTA are used as output amplifiers in automobile,
battery-operated, and other receivers in which reduced plate-current drain is desirable.
These tubes are equivalent in performance to type 6AQ5A. Refer to type 6AQ5A for average
plate characteristic curves. Type 12V6GT is identical with type 6V6GTA except for heater ratings.
