Quick Reference Data

Name: 6AN8
Use:
Miniature tube type used in color television receiver applications. The pentode unit is used as an IF amplifier, a video amplifier, an agc amplifier, or a reactance tube. The triode unit is used in low-frequency oscillator, sync-separator, sync-clipper, and phase-splitter circuits.
Notes: Requires a miniature 9-pin socket.
