12X4 Vacuum Tube New and Used

- Description
- Specifications
The 12X4 is a 7-pin miniature full-wave power rectifier tube designed for low-power high-voltage DC power supply applications in vintage radio receivers, audio amplifiers, and test equipment. It converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) using an indirectly heated cathode operating on a 12.6-volt heater supply. RCA, Sylvania, GE, and Westinghouse produced the 12X4 to standard RETMA specifications with glass T-5 1/2 envelopes and button 7-pin bases.
