Diode - Sharp-Cutoff Pentode
The 6AM8 / 6AM8A Vacuum tube is a miniature type used in
television receiver applications. The pentode unit is
used as an IF amplifier, video amplifier, or AGC
amplifier. The high-perveance diode is used as an audio
detector, video detector, or dc restorer. It requires a
miniature 9-contact socket.
