Radio lamp 6ZH9P

Radio lamp 6ZH9P A directory of the content of precious metals in radio components based on reference data from various organizations involved in the processing of scrap radio components, device passports, forms and other open sources. It is worth noting that the actual content may differ by 20-30% downwards.

Radio tubes can contain gold, silver, platinum and PGMs (Platinum group metals, Platinum group, Platinum metals, Platinoids, PGE)

Content

Content of precious metals in the radio tube: 6Zh9P

Gold: 0.0001193 Silver: 0 Platinum: 0 MPG: 0 According to data: from the Roscosmos list

An electron tube or radio tube is an electric vacuum device (more precisely, a vacuum electronic device) that works by controlling the intensity of the flow of electrons moving in a vacuum or rarefied gas between the electrodes.

Main types of electronic vacuum tubes:

Diodes (easily made for high voltages, see kenotron) Triodes Tetrodes Pentodes and Beam tetrodes Beam pentodes (as a variation of this type) Hexodes Heptodes (pentagrids, five-grid) Octodes Nonodes Combination lamps (actually include 2 or more lamps in one cylinder) Discharge lamps

TUBE AMPLIFIER FOR HEADPHONES

But my baby lamp has been working properly for a year now. Assembled and tested specifically for fans (amateurs, and not only) of the 6ZH1P pentode, why is this so - it’s simple, this lamp is so not in short supply that, having climbed the bottom of the barrel, I scraped together two dozen. In a triode connection, 6ZH1P is equivalent to a 6S1P triode.

Here are the parameters I got for a single-ended cascade. 6Zh1P measurements in a test triode connection:

  • Ua=85V Ua=126V
  • Uk=2V Uk=2.2V
  • U=250V U=250V
  • Ra=47kOhm Ra=12kOhm
  • Rk=620 Ohm Rk=220 Ohm
  • Ck=150mF Ck=150mF
  • Uin=~1V Uin=~1V
  • Uout=27V Uout=23V
  • KHI=0.7-1% KHI=0.25-0.4%
  • Frequency response 5 Hz-200 kHz at level -3 dB

For experiments, use any low-power pentode, for example, 6ZH1P (the letter Zh in the lamp marking means a pentode with a shortened lower bend of the anode-grid characteristic) from finger lamps. The circuit is a simple single-stage low-frequency amplifier. Use a rectifier to power the amplifier. Check the installation with the circuit diagram, turn on the power and apply a low-frequency signal from an MP3 player, from a computer output or from a DVD player to the amplifier input. The lamp will amplify the signal, and the headphones will convert it into sound vibrations.

Resistor R2 in the cathode circuit is an automatic bias resistor. The voltage created across it is supplied to the control grid through resistor R1. Capacitor C3 closes the alternating current component of the shielding grid circuit to the cathode. Without it, during operation of the lamp, the voltage on the shielding grid will pulsate with the frequency of the amplified signal and parasitic feedback will arise between the anode and the control grid.

The capacitance of this capacitor must be such that it does not provide significant resistance to vibrations of low frequencies of the amplified signal. In a tube headphone amplifier, this requirement is met by capacitors with a capacity of at least 0.05 µF.

In the diagram of one of the possible options for a low-power amplifier for low-impedance headphones (4-16 Ohms), we use small output transformers of the TVZ1-9 type. Here the output stage is shown in the pentode connection of the lamp. For stereo you will need two similar channels.

And here is the actual ULF circuit that was used for my device. Just don’t forget, we turn on the lamps with triodes. The ULF itself is drawn only for one channel, the second is the same.

By the way, the 6zh1p lamp (analogous to EF95) also allows a reduced supply voltage. See the diagram below for options for ultra-low-voltage tube headphone amplifiers.

In terms of the case and design - what will you get? In the photographs you can see the metal case from the power supply of the antenna amplifier of the Senao phone. In general, I am extremely pleased with the sound of the resulting tube headphone amplifier!

In terms of power, believe me, it’s enough, the output amplitude jumps to 1.5 volts, with an impedance of 32 ohms.

But don't forget! The beauty of this amplifier directly depends on what you are going to listen to. Chinese bananas for $5 would be out of place here. In general, the device is made according to all HI-END rules and, despite the minimal costs, is not particularly inferior to brands. Photo by: -igRoman-
