What Is 6P45S Tube?

el-509-analogue

6P45S is a pentode tube, which means it has five active electrodes (a cathode, control grid, screen grid, suppressor grid, and anode).
In everyday use, this lamp is usually used in audio equipment as an equivalent of EL509 and EL519 tubes (or other more expensive alternatives).

  • The 6P45S is a type of vacuum tube that is used in high-power audio amplifiers. 
  • Pentode tubes are known for their high power output and good linearity, and are often used in audio amplifiers and other applications where high power and good signal fidelity are important.

Is The 6P45S An Analog Of The EL509 Tube?

Yes! The 6P45S is a high-power beam tetrode vacuum tube (also known as a valve) that is similar to the EL509 in terms of structure and operating characteristics. Both tubes are beam tetrodes and are commonly used in audio amplifier and high-voltage switching applications.

The 6P45S is a Russian-made tube that is equivalent to the EL509 in many ways, including its power rating and operating characteristics. It can be used as a substitute for the EL509 in some cases, although the performance of a vacuum tube can be affected by the specific circuit in which it is used. It is always best to consult with a qualified technician or engineer before making any changes to the tubes in a circuit to ensure that the substitute tube is compatible and will provide the desired performance.

Why Is 6P45S Often Used In AMPlifiers?

The 6P45S is a type of vacuum tube that is often used in high-power audio amplifiers. As a pentode tube, it has five active electrodes (a cathode, control grid, screen grid, suppressor grid, and anode) and is known for its high power output and good linearity. These characteristics make the 6P45S well-suited for use in audio amplifiers and other applications where high power and good signal fidelity are important.

In an amplifier, the 6P45S tube is used to amplify the input signal to a higher level, typically by applying a high voltage to the plate of the tube. The amplified output signal is then used to drive the load (e.g. a speaker) to produce sound. The 6P45S is known for its excellent performance and reliability, and is often used in high-quality audio amplifiers where a high-power pentode tube is required.

What Versions Of The 6P45S Tubes Are Best For AMPlifier?

As for the 6P45C, there is not much difference what tube manufacturer you will use in your amplifier.
It is not uncommon for vacuum tubes to be available in different versions or variations, depending on the manufacturer and the intended application. The 6P45S is no exception, and there may be different versions of this tube available from different manufacturers or for different applications.

Which Factories Produced 6P45S?

There are several factories in Russia that have produced the 6P45S tube, including the Svetlana Electron Devices Factory in St. Petersburg and the Reflector Factory in Moscow. These factories have a long history of producing high-quality vacuum tubes for various applications, including audio amplifiers and high-voltage switching circuits. Below you can see Svetlana Factory logo with letter “C” and Ulyanovsk Factory Logo with letter “Y” (and new logo version with “rocket”)
