Price $1.25 FOREWORD This tabulation of published data on electron devices of the U.S.S.R. has been prepared as part of the National Bureau of Standards Electron Devices Data Service. Established in 1948 to provide technical data on radio tubes to members of the Bureau staff, the service has since been extended to other scientists and engineers in government and industry. In the course of the program, a large volume of information on tubes, transistors, diodes, and other electron devices has been accumulated. To make this information more readily available, a system has been worked out for automatically tabulating the data in handbook form. Pre- vious tabulations include Tabulation on Data on Microwave Tubes , NBS Handbook 104 (1967) and Tabulation of Data on Receiving Tubes , NB~S Hand- book 103 (1967). The present tabulation, updating Technical Note 441, is the result of compilation efforts extending over the past ten years. All the in- cluded information was taken from published specifications , and every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and completeness. However, the Bureau cannot assume responsibility for omissions nor for results ob- tained with these data. Lewis M. Branscomb, Director li . : CONTENTS Page 1. Introduction viii 2.

This revision is actually the sixth revision in this series of Tabu- lations of Electron Devices Of The U.S.S.R. published over the past nine years. They document the growth of the U.S.S.R. electron device industry to a degree in that a concerted attempt has been made to include all published data on their devices. Of course, no attempt has been made to penetrate their classified data and we have no knowledge of the time lag between classified pilot or serial production and data publication. The growth of published device data is detailed in Table No. 1 which shows the increase in the number of device types in the various groups. Generally this increase, in the receiving tube area, has been in sub- miniature types and, in the transistor area, germanium types are still increasing faster than silicon types. The former transistor types have always been more numerous by a fairly large factor, as shown at the bottom of Table No. 1. In fact, during the past two years, the number of silicon devices more than doubled but still is only a third of the germanium devices. There is no equivalent of the complete data sheet, with character- istic curves, as published by the European, Japanese, and United States device manufacturers, in the U.S.S.R. technology, and while their nation- al (GOST) device specifications are quite complete, they appear to be delayed in publication. Furthermore, the published data Is not con- sistent between different publications. For this reason, considerable effort is expended in intercomparing their data in the available pub- lications, in selecting data for this tabulation to assure that the data is the probably correct value. The sources of data for this tabulation are the books published by the institutes , the export brochures and the data contained in magazines and journals. New prefix letters for transistors have been used during the past two or three years. The letters "G" and "K" designate germanium and silicon respectively. These are followed by the letters "D" or "T" for diodes or transistors. These letter prefixes appear to replace the "IT" and "2T" designations initiated three years ago but these type numbers have been retained in this tabulation until this can be ascertained def- initely. The prefix letter "M" was used for the first time about 3 years ago and is now quite common preceding the "P number" to indicate that the transistor enclosure is a cold weld between the copper cap and the glass- sealing alloy header. The new Group X-A on integrated circuits introduced at the Paris fair in the Spring of 1969 is included. These devices range from a "sim- ple assembly of diodes to 30 transistors both in bipolar and MOS struc- tures for a total of 31M- devices tabulated. While the data on these de- vices is limited, the tabulation is arranged to include all the ; infor- mation presented. Finally there is another new group of switching diodes, i.e., X-E, which includes "PIN" and Backward diodes.

Through March 1970 Charles P. Marsden This tabulation includes published data on U.S.S.R. electron devices as collected from publi- cations , mostly handbooks , published by the var- ious ministries and institutes of the U.S.S.R. Information is given on all active devices ranging from receiving to microwave devices, semiconductor devices, and miscellaneous devices such as, for example, photographic flash tubes and thermistors. Key words : Electron devices ; electron tubes ; semi- conductors ; U.S.S.R. 1. Introduction The increased circulation of published literature and the importation of equipment from the U.S.S.R. has created a need for factual informa- tion about Russian electron devices. To satisfy this need, the National Bureau of Standards Electron Devices Data Service has prepared the present tabulation in a format that could be reproduced directly from punched cards. This publication is the sixth revision and is an expansion of Tech- nical Note No. 441 published in July, 196 8. More that 500 new types have been added. The sources of the data are the various publications produced in the U.S.S.R. and include books published by the various ministries, and technical magazines. To assure that the device values selected for use in this tabulation are the probably correct values , considerable effort has been taken to intercompare data from available publications.

    Vacuum Tube Theory, a Basics Tutorial – Page 1 Vacuum Tubes or Thermionic Valves come in many forms including the Diode, Triode, Tetrode, Pentode, Heptode and many more. These tubes have been manufactured by the millions in years gone by and even today the basic technology finds applications in today's electronics scene. It was the vacuum tube that first opened the way to what we know as electronics today, enabling first rectifiers and then active devices to be made and used. Although Vacuum Tube technology may appear to be dated in the highly semiconductor orientated electronics industry, many Vacuum Tubes are still used today in applications ranging from vintage wireless sets to high power radio transmitters. Until recently the most widely used thermionic device was the Cathode Ray Tube that was still manufactured by the million for use in television sets, computer monitors, oscilloscopes and a variety of other electronic equipment. Concept of thermionic emission Thermionic basics The simplest form of vacuum tube is the Diode. It is ideal to use this as the first building block for explanations of the technology. It consists of two electrodes - a Cathode and an Anode held within an evacuated glass bulb, connections being made to them through the glass envelope. If a Cathode is heated, it is found that electrons from the Cathode become increasingly active and as the temperature increases they can actually leave the Cathode and enter the surrounding space. When an electron leaves the Cathode it leaves behind a positive charge, equal but opposite to that of the electron. In fact there are many millions of electrons leaving the Cathode.

  • The Electron Volt
    ApPENDIX A The Electron Volt Before we discuss the electron volt (e V) let us go over the following phe­ nomenon without the use of that unit. When a potential difference exists between two points, and a charged particle is in that field, a force is exerted on this particle by the electric field. An example of this is the beam of electrons in a TV picture tube. Each electron in this beam is accelerated by the force exerted on it by the electric field. As it is accelerated its kinetic energy is increased until it is maximum just prior to striking the screen at the front of the picture tube. When it strikes the front of the picture tube this energy must be conserved so the kinetic energy is converted into the form of electromagnetic energy or x rays. One problem is to find a description of the emitted x-ray photon. Let us assume that the accelerating voltage in the TV picture tube was 20 kV. Without the use of the electron volt as a unit the following units would be required in this calculation: 1. The charge on an electron (q) = 1.602 x 10- 19 coulomb. 2. Planck's constant (h) = 6.547 x 10-27 erg-second. 3. One angstrom (A) = 1 x 10- 10 meter (used to measure the wavelength of light). 4. The velocity of light (C) = 3 x 1010 cm/s. The force on an electron, due to the presence of an electric field, can be ex­ pressed as qE, where q is the charge on an electron and E is the potential differ­ ence, in volts, between the two points, divided by the distance between the two points, in meters.
