GMI-27B
Pulse modulator tetrode
Description
Purpose and application
GMI-27B is a pulse modulator tetrode for high-current switching stages in pulse equipment. The tube is designed to form controlled high-voltage pulses and is identified by its complete GMI-27B designation, dimensions and electrode connection arrangement.

Construction
The compact metal-glass and ceramic body carries a broad finned radiator and a top electrode contact. Heater voltage is 12–13.8 V and current is 6.25 ± 0.5 A. The wider radiator and mounting geometry distinguish it from nearby executions.
Operating data
The pulse anode current is at least 20 A and remains at least 18 A at a heater voltage of 12 V. Input capacitance is 70 ± 10 pF, output capacitance 13 ± 3 pF, and transfer capacitance no more than 1 pF. Readiness time is no more than three minutes.
Cooling and selection
The radiator requires directed forced airflow. Maximum envelope temperature is 150 °C, ambient range is −60 to +85 °C, mass is approximately 750 g, and minimum service life is 1000 hours. Verify airflow and the original mounting dimensions before replacement.
Vacuum device construction is outlined in the vacuum tube article. Related devices are listed under generator and modulator tubes.
