KT55

Information - Help 
ID = 30426
       
Country:
Great Britain (UK)
Brand: Marconi-Osram - (Valves/Tubes); GB
Tube type:  Beam Power Tube   beam power   Power/Output 
Identical to KT55

Base Octal (Int.Octal, IO) K8A, USA 1935
Filament Vf 52 Volts / If 0.3 Ampere / Indirect / Specified voltage AND current AC/DC
Description

Pa <25W, Ik <260mA, gm 20mA/V

Designed for low-voltage, high power audio output. The 15W heater power aids the good emission.

Can achieve 25W output in class AB with 200V supply for anode and screen; requires only 20V rms drive to the grids for full power output.

Despite potentially being a better performance tube than the popular KT66, a 6.3V heater version of the KT55 would have required some 2.5A compared with the 1.3A for the KT66.
