6CH6 tube (electron valve miniature output pentode)

6CH6 tube (electron valve miniature output pentode) Manufactured by Brimar and STC

The Brimar type 6CH6 is a miniature high slope pentode. Its high anode dissipation and current rating make it suitable for working into loads of low impedance and self capacity.

6CH6 is a commercial equivalent of the CV4055
