6AQ5
The 6AQ5[1] (Mullard–Philips tube designation EL90) is a miniature 7-pin (B7G) audio power output beam tetrode vacuum tube with ratings virtually identical to the 6V6 at 250 V.[2] It was commonly used as an output audio amplifier in tube TVs and radios. It was also used in transmitter circuits.[3] There are versions of this tube with extended ratings for industrial applications which are designated as 6AQ5A[4] (with controlled heater warm-up characteristic), and 6AQ5W/6005[5] or 6005W (shock and vibration resistant).
A push–pull pair is capable of producing at least 10W audio output power in class AB1.
Also, in some cases it was used as a vertical deflection output tube during the 1950s, being also rated for this purpose. For this application, 6AQ5-A was preferred. It was used for 70- and 90-degree picture tubes, but also in some early colour sets in the frame output.
Other close or equivalent tube types are: 6HG5, 6HR5, 6669, 6BM5, N727, CV1862 and the Tesla 6L31. The 6CM6,[6] like the Russian 6P1P (6П1П),[7] while electrically equivalent (up to 250 V anode voltage), have a 9 pin (B9A) base. Another similar, but not identical, amplifier pentode with a miniature 9-Pin base (B9A), used in consumer electronics was the 6M5.
