Technical Features

Construction and Supply

  • Socket and mounting hardware matched to the base layout of the tube it serves
  • Ceramic and metal parts inspected for contact condition before packing
  • Ordered together with the tube so the pair arrives on one shipment
  • Chimneys, clamps and fixing brackets quoted on the same enquiry

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Buying the original brand part

Where the original is still produced it remains an option. Where it is not, an equivalent quoted against the same designation is what keeps the equipment working.

Buying from an auction listing

Condition and provenance are not described, there is no written quotation, and there is nobody to ask a technical question afterwards.

Redesigning the stage around a current device

Sometimes the right long term answer, but it is an engineering project. Replacing the tube is a maintenance task.

Use Guide

Handling and Fitting

  • Order the socket against the tube type rather than the pin count
  • Check the chassis cutout and the mounting hole pattern before fitting
  • Clean the contact surfaces before a new tube goes in
  • Replace a socket that has been through several tube changes rather than reusing it

FAQ

Socket Questions

Can you quote Socket against my nameplate designation?

Yes. Send the number exactly as it is printed on the equipment or the tube. Socket is quoted against that designation, and if we cannot offer it we say so rather than substituting something else without telling you.

Do I have to order more than one Socket?

No. A single piece for a repair is a normal order, and the same item can be scheduled in repeat quantities for a production or maintenance programme.

What data do you send with the quotation for Socket?

The data we hold for the type goes out with the price and the availability, so the item can be checked against your circuit before you commit to the order.

How is Socket packed for export?

It is packed so that the fragile surfaces are held clear of the carton, and the outer packing and transport method are chosen for the destination and how urgently you need it.

How do I confirm Socket fits my tube?

Send the tube type the socket has to carry plus the chassis cutout and mounting hole pattern. That is enough to confirm the fit before you order.
