In Reply to: choosing a tv damper diode... posted by jarthel on April 18, 2007 at 22:11:45:
Just obey the anode dissipation... 450V * 100mA = 4.5W.
The 6CJ3 (compactron) is rated for PaMax = 6.5W. The 6AX4
has PaMax=5.0W. That said, a single pair of EL34's running at
the usual 450V/50mA op point will just barely be taken care of
by a pair of 6AX4's... Dont expect these to power a stereo KT88
amp. On the other hand, for monoblocks, the damper tubes are definitely an option over the 5AR4. For preamps, or small amps
based on 6V6 or EL34, you have lots of room to wiggle.On more thing... A pair of damper diodes NEEDS IT OWN 6.3/12/25V
filament winding... Do not share the winding with any other tubes.
For a pair of dampers, you need 3A at 6V. :)-- Jim
