- Specifications
The 8AW8 (and its improved 8AW8A variant) is a multi-unit glass tube containing a medium-mu triode and a sharp-cutoff pentode in a single 9-pin miniature envelope. Designed primarily for television receiver applications—commonly serving as a horizontal oscillator and sync separator or video amplifier stage—it features an 8.0-volt, 450mA heater designed for series-string tube filament circuits. Manufactured by companies such as RCA, Sylvania, GE, and Tung-Sol, this tube provides reliable dual-section performance for vintage television chassis restoration and specialized electronic equipment repairs.
