The 3CX2500A3 and TH5-6 are metal-ceramic sealed, forced air-cooled triodes with thoriated tungsten carbide cathode. The filament and grid are coaxial structured with low distributed inductance. The operating frequency can reach 110MHz, and the anode dissipation power is 4kW. They are intended for FM, AM, TV and industrial heating equipment. The tube core of TH5-6 has a radiator, which improves the cooling performance of the cathode and is suitable for dusty environment.
