TubePad 6.0 Tube Chart

Quick Reference Data

Name: 6BA6
Use:
Miniature tube type used as rf amplifier in standard broadcast and FM receivers, as well as in wide-band, high-frequency applications. This type is similar in performance to metal type 6SG7. The low value of grid-plate capacitance minimizes regenerative effects, while the high transconductance makes possible high signal-to-noise ratio.
Notes: Requires miniature 7-pin socket and may be mounted in any position.
