SVETLANA TECHNICAL DATA
SV83
Audio Power Pentode
he SvetlanaTM SV83 is a miniature glass-envelope power pentode intended
for use as a driver or output device in high-quality audio amplifiers.
T
Features include plate dissipation 12 watts; low distortion; high
transconductance; internally shielded for low hum pickup; and pinout compatibility—EL84 can be used in an SV83 circuit without modification. The highly linear
SV83 is similar to the EL84 with the exception of basing connections and screengrid ratings.
