The 3A5 designation means "3 volt heater, 5 element/pentode structure". This is a new one for me! I will have to take a look at my GE tube manual.

It's meant for a high frequency oscillator use, at frequencies up to 40MHz, according to the data sheet. Jason, I don't know what made you think it had to be a pentode, with the designation 3A5. Not that it couldn't be, but why did you think it had to be? mmcgill829, What do you own in the way of audiophile gear that uses this type of tube? Apart from its very high frequency bandwidth, the other specs are not remarkably deviant from standard audio triodes. And the spec sheet does not indicate how it would operate in the audio band. |
