Can you use a 12AT7 in place of an 12AX7?
A 12AT7 can drive a power section just as well as or better than a 12AX7 when the circuit is designed around its electrical characteristics. If you simply drop a 12AT7 into a phase inverter circuit designed for a 12AX7, you will get slightly less drive from your power section.
What is a 12AT7 used for?
Typically 12AU7 tubes are used in tube-driven effects within guitar amps (such as spring reverb or tremolo effects in Fender amps) and are commonly used in microphone preamps and tube microphones.
How long do 12at7 tubes last?
about 10,000 hours
Small signal tubes like a 12AX7 or 6922 will work well on average for about 10,000 hours.
What is an e180cc triode?
The E180CC is a special quality double triode designed for use in computer circuits. The E180CC will maintain its emission characteristics after long periods where the valve is biased to cut-off. This characteristic equates to use in a bi-stable or flip-flop circuit.
Can the e180cc be used for audio?
The E180CC is a special quality double triode designed for use in computer circuits. The E180CC will maintain its emission characteristics after long periods where the valve is biased to cut-off. This characteristic equates to use in a bi-stable or flip-flop circuit. The E180CC is not designed for audio use.
How does the e180cc maintain its emission characteristics?
The E180CC will maintain its emission characteristics after long periods where the valve is biased to cut-off. This characteristic equates to use in a bi-stable or flip-flop circuit.
What is the output voltage of the IBM e180cc?
The E180CC is not designed for audio use. The heater is centre tapped for use at 6.3 or 12.6 Volts but in a parallel connection. This exhibit has equipment makers markings as well, in this case IBM. It is also labelled as a 5965 showing that the two Types are equivalent.
