3GK5 Vacuum Tube New and Used

- Description
- Specifications
The 3GK5 is a 7-pin miniature high-mu triode designed for RF amplifier service in radio tuners and high-frequency receiver front-ends. Featuring an internal frame-grid construction with protective shielding, it offers high mutual conductance (15,000 microsiemens) and low grid-to-plate capacitance. Designed with a 2.8V heater for 450mA series-filament radio circuits, it delivers high gain and low noise in weak-signal reception stages. Available in new old stock (NOS) and tested used conditions.
