Full-Wave Rectifier
The 6202 Vacuum tube is a miniature type used in power supplies of automobile and
ac-operated radio receivers. It is equivalent in performance to larger types 6X5 and 6X5GT.
The 6202 tube is a high-rel full-wave rectifier. It is a variant of the 6X4, rated for
operation up to 60.000 feet and derated for 55mA max d-c output current. It is made by
Amperex, GE, RCA and Tung-Sol.
The 6202 requires a miniature 7-contact socket and may be mounted in any position.
It is especially important that this tube, like other power-handling tubes, be adequately
ventilated.
