§L§§SIFICATIDN
The SASS/409A electron tube is a 7-pia miniature, triple-grid pentode with an indirectly heated cathode.
It is intended for low pover applications at high and ultra-high frequencies. The usual control-grid and
the suppressor-grid can be used as independent control elements. The tube is suitable for use in
gated amplifiers, gain controlled amplifiers, delay circuits, and mixers.

[OUNTINQ
The dimensions and arrangement of terminal connections are as shown above. The tube may be
mounted in any position.
