Hi,
Pls, have a look at this description of Signetics 25000 series 9046 XN
component: http://pichotjm.free.fr/humr/2.html
Can you explain me, what is Vff? Is it a good idea to decrease this voltage
Almost certainly filament (heater) voltage. It should be 6.3V (rms AC, or
I guess DC). Note the sudden vall in Iff if Vff much exceeds 6.3V -- this
is _not_ reversable, if you get to this point, you'll never get much Iff
through the same device in the future.
in order to increase reliability?
No. Too low a Vff leads to a poisoned cathode.
But what will happen with our 50 Hz european supply?
It shoul;dn't make ay difference. Or at least it didn't when I used a
related-technology device.
