  • Description
  • Specifications

These 6-pin chassis-mount tube sockets feature a standard 1-3/4 inch (1.75") mounting hole center-to-center spacing and are available in two distinct styles:

  • Molded Bakelite Socket: Features a thick, rigid phenolic body with recessed contacts for superior high-voltage insulation and heat dissipation. Designed for heavy-duty power supplies and output stages in console sets from RCA Victor, Zenith, and Philco.

  • Phenolic Wafer Socket: Utilizes a low-profile design of two flat phenolic plates riveted around metal leaf contacts. Reduces below-chassis clearance and weight in compact tabletop receivers from Crosley and Emerson.

Both options accept standard 6-pin UX base tubes (such as 37, 41, 42, and 78) and 6-pin inter-chassis power plugs. Available in NOS and tested vintage condition.

  • Pin Count: 6-Pin standard UX / U6 layout (2 large heater/filament pins, 4 standard signal/element pins)

  • Construction Variants:

    • Bakelite Style: Heavy-duty molded black phenolic housing with recessed spring contacts

    • Wafer Style: Dual-layer phenolic plate assembly with riveted spring-metal leaf contacts

  • Mounting Hole Spacing: 1-3/4 inches (1.75 in / ~44.45 mm) center-to-center

  • Chassis Hole Cutout: 1-3/16 inch to 1-1/4 inch diameter (~30 mm to ~32 mm)

  • Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze / Tinned Spring Brass (Solder Lug Terminals)

  • Voltage Rating: 500V RMS continuous / 1500V dielectric breakdown

  • Tube Compatibility: 37, 41, 42, 43, 78, 6A7, 6D6, 6E5/6U5 tuning eye assemblies, and 6-pin umbilical chassis connectors
