1. 10LE8 is a miniature triode vacuum tube (valve) built by Mazda in the late 1940s and 1950s.
2. 10LE8 has a high performance design with a small 6.3V heater and a high amplification factor of 38.
3. It has a maximum plate dissipation rating of 600V, plate current of 10mA, and an anode voltage rating of 230V.
4. 10LE8 is made of glass, and it is a “black-plate” design with an anode grid construction that minimizes microphonic noise.
5. The tube features an indirect-heated cathode, and its three electrodes are composed of a control grid, anode (plate), and cathode.
6. Intended for use as an amplifier in a variety of audio systems, 10LE8 is well-suited for applications such as guitar and bass amplifiers, public address systems, and signal processors.
7. 10LE8 is a direct-heated device, requiring no additional rectification circuitry.
8. The tube offers low distortion and high gain, making it suitable for high-fidelity audio applications.
9. It has a frequency response of 30 Hz to 15 kHz, and a low value of harmonic distortion of 2%.
10. When properly supported and ventilated, 10LE8 may be used under conditions of heavy loading and with peak plate currents of up to 18 mA, making it a good choice for applications where higher power dissipation capabilities are required.
