Heater voltage (see note 1)	6.3	V	Netweight	0.7 kg approx
Heater current at 6.3V	0.6	A	Mounting position	any
Cathode pre-heating time (minimum)(see note 2)	30	s	Cooling	natural
Input capacitance	8.0	pF max	A minimum clearance of 1 inch must be maintained between the magnetron and any magnetic materials.

 

NOTES

1. No reduction of heater voltage is required at any value of mean input power. For optimum performance 

  a value within the specified ratings must be maintained.
  The magnetron heater must be protected against arcing by the use of a minimum capacitance of 4000 pF 

  shunted across the heater directly at the input terminals; in some cases a capacitance as high as 2 mF

  may be necessary depending on the equipment design. For further details see the Magnetron Preamble.

 

2. For ambient temperatures above 0℃. For ambient temperatures between 0 and -55℃, cathode pre-

  heating time is 75 seconds minimum.
