Purpose, brief description

A pentode with an oxide cathode - 6Zh12C serves to amplify high-frequency signals, was used and is still used in highly sensitive long-distance communication equipment. The feature of the presented electrovacuum device is a glass bulb, which has a shaped configuration and is equipped with a pin, octal, six-contact socket. In the period from 1970 to 1985, the radio lamp was produced at specialized (military) factories of the former Soviet Union.
