DHT heater specs.

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Hello to all!

Currently building a current-regulated supply for the heater of a DHT.
The spec is 1A/6.3V. However if i run it with 1A, the drop accros the heater is 8.5V.

Ok i say, so the spec is incorrect, and i can adjust the current easly. But what is the most important parameter, the right current or the right voltage on the heater? Or the right power?

My guess is that i should not go over the voltage spec, but then the current is down at 750mA. Will that suffice for correct operation?

Thank you in advance.
