Because of its ability to provide superior quality audio power amplifier tubes at competitive prices, while maintaining the highest standards of service, Penta Laboratories has become a valued resource for an ever-increasing number of independent and public radio and TV stations and operators. Moreover, each TV and radio vacuum tube and amplifier is extensively tested prior to shipment to ensure that optimum levels of on-air performance will be maintained. Penta power grid tubes and cavities are available for all broadcasting requirements, as are klystrons and millimeter-wave power amplifiers.
This is only a partial list of the products that Penta Laboratories typically carries, please contact us directly to inquire about other tube types.
3-500ZG
The Penta Laboratories 3-500ZG vacuum tube for sale is a high-mu power triode with a maximum plate dissipation rating of 500 watts. Cooling is by radiation and forced air through the base, along the envelope, and over the plate seal and radiator-type plate connector. This 3-500ZG replacement tube is intended for use as a zero-bias Class AB2 amplifier in radio-frequency or audio frequency applications. By eliminating the bias supply, zero grid bias operation greatly simplifies circuitry design. When operated in a cathode-driven circuit, a power gain of as much twenty times is achievable. Featuring a new design for longer life, the ceramic base provides better temperature control.
