The 5AQ5 is a 7-pin miniature beam power amplifier designed for audio power output stages in radio receivers and audio equipment. Operating on a 4.7V/600mA series heater, it is the controlled heater warmup equivalent of the 6AQ5 and delivers robust audio power output at moderate plate voltages. It was commonly featured in late-1950s series-string chassis designs by RCA Victor, Zenith, Philco, and Admiral. Available in NOS and tested used conditions.
