Voltage drop across a 1626 tube as a rectifier??

[mcgyver2822]

Does anyone know the voltage drop across a 1626 tube used as a rectifier?? This is used in sprague test equipment. THanks

The 1626 is a Triode ,
you need to know the grid voltage and the A-K current.
like so(general example):

Hi Mcgyver,
Try this page and follow some of the links. It may give you some information.

BTW, Do you like relays? @CDRIVE and myself need to know!

What is +VBB ?
What is Vg?
What is Rp?
Draw a work line and find Vp(like shown on the pic)
Here is the RCA 1626 TUBE PLATE I-V curve .
Filament voltage of 1626 is 12.6V

Dork I'm assuming you scanned them from an organic RCA tube manual. I'm sure glad you did because I really didn't want to dig mine out (bought it new in the 60's) and blow off all that dust!

A musing: Perhaps if the 6CW4 had been marketed in the 40's it may have taken another decade for the Transistor to have taken root.
