7586: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:43, 2 March 2024

The 7586 (P/N 154-0306-00) is a Nuvistor triode vacuum tube, introduced in 1959 as the first tube of the series.

The related 8393 (13-volt version of the 7586) is used in the 1A7 and 453.

The Russian 6С51Н (Latin: 6S51N) is similar but has different connections (long leads).
