According to all of the data sheets I have seen, the 71A is rated for a maximum plate voltage of 180V at 20mA current, which equals 3.6W plate dissipation. I am considering to use it at 200-225V at 12mA, translating to 2.4-2.7W, less than maximum plate dissipation. Has anyone tried this and will running only this much above max plate voltage cause arcing or other problems?
