5670 TWIN TRIODE TUBES Five-Star Tube kkk FOR GENERAL-PURPOSE APPLICATIONS MEDIUM MU SHOCK, VIBRATION RATINGS 9-PIN MINIATURE HEATER-CYCLING RATING HIGH TRANSCONDUCTANCE DESCRIPTION AND RATING ‘The 5670 is a miniature medium-mu twin triode each section of which has 1 separate cathode connection. The tube is suited for use in a wide-variety ‘of general-purpose amplifier ond mixer circuits as well as numerous multi- vibrator and oscillator applications. The useful operating range extends from low frequencies through the VHF region. ‘The 5670 is a special-quality tube intended for use in critical industrial ‘and military applications in which operational dependability is of primary importance. Features of the tube include a high degree of mechanical strength ‘and a heater-cathode construction capable of withstanding many-thousand cycles of intermittent operation. When used in on-off control applications, the ‘tube will maintain its emission capabilites after long periods of operation under cutoff conditions. Analysis of the electrical characteristics of this tube with those of the 2C51 will indicate that the 5670 is essentially similar.
