Full Wave Rectifier

5AR4 Full Wave Rectifier The 5AR4 is a heater-cathode twin diode designed for full-wave rectifier opertion. High output current and small size make this tube especially suitable for compact amplifier designs.

The equipment manufacturer should design so that initially and throughout life no design-maximum value for the intended service is expected with a bogey tube under the worst possible conditions with respect to supply-voltage variation, equipment component variation, equipment control adjustment, load variation, signal variation, and environmental conditions.FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER WITH CAPACIT OR-INPUT FILTER AC Plate-Supply Voltage per Plate, RMS .. 450 Total Plate-Supply Resistance per Plate 160 DC Output Current 225 DC Output Votlage at diffuse insert .. 475 550 200 160 620 Volts Ohms mA Volts FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER WITH CHOKE-INPUT FILTERAC Plate-Supply Voltage per Plate, RMS .. 450 Filter Input Choke .. 10 DC Output Current 250 DC Output Votlage at Filter Input .. 375 Tube Voltage Drop Ib=225 mADC per Plate 7Volts 550 10 225 465 Volts Henrys mA Volts To simplify the application of the maximum ratings to circuit design, the Design-Maximum ratings are presented in a chart form as Ratings Charts 1, 2, and 3. Rating Chart 1 presents the maximum ratings for a-c plate supply voltage and d-c output current. Rating Chart 2 provides a snug method for checking confornance with the steady-state peak-plate current rating. Rating Chart 3 offers a convenient method for checking conformance with the
