The 4CX25,000A is a ceramic/metal power tetrode intended for use in VHF-TV linear amplifier service. It features a type of internal mechanical structure which results in high RF operating efficiency. Low RF losses in this structure permit operation at full range to 230 MHz in TV linear amplifier service. The anode is rated for 25 kW dissipation with forced- air cooling and uses a highly efficient cooler, which significantly reduces air pressure and flow requirements and produces low acoustical noise.
