832 / VT118 double beam tetrode

Size
This valve measures 85x55mm overall and has a 7 pin base

Heater voltage12.6V / 6.3V
Heater current800mA / 1.6A
Max anode voltage500V
Max screen voltage250V
Max anode dissipation (total for both units)15W
Max screen dissipation (total for both units)3.5W
Mutual conductance (Va=250;Vg2=135;Vg1=-10;Ia=30mA)3.0mA/V
Max operating frequency200MHz
Capacitances
Ca-all (each unit)3.8pF
Cg1-all (each unit)8.6pF
Ca-g max (each unit)0.05pF
Cscreen-c60.0pF

Note the two halves of the heater can be connected in parallel to run at 6.3V/1.6A

In operation a bypass capacitor needs to be connected between the screen grid pin and the cathode and should be below the internal screen
